Fooling the Victim: Of Straw Men and Those Who Fall for Them
https://muse.jhu.edu/article/796000

Katharina presented this idea awhile back and the paper's finally come out. She reinterprets the fallacy from the normal triad <arguer, strawmanner, audience> to a *temporal*, but dyadic <arguer at t1, strawmanner, arguer at t2>. That makes it much more practical, at least in the sense of, for example, reading your own code a year after you wrote it ... or even in the sense of parallelized behaviors - as a demonstration of why pair-programming works, where the arguer is of "two minds", one who constructs things and one who evaluates things. That latter even applies to a multi-tasking separation of thought vs. finger-memory and typos.
