You are the expert in straw men. So, in any, why would you say thank you to that? That's not.
I like being an expert at debating. I, I have been doing it for 12 years. So, what is a straw man?
You're saying you're trying to kind of invalidate my arguments by saying that everything I say is a straw man. Yeah. But what is a straw man?
What is a straw man? As soon as you tell me what a [laughter] can answer it.
Just wondering though. What is a straw man?
Straw man argument. Something that is irrelevant to the argument or the conversation. I don't know the exact definition.
No, that's not a straw man. You've been debating for 12 years and you don't know like the number. Yeah. You don't know the ludal phases or whatever the.
How would that be relevant to a debate? Are there factual things?
I can't debate because I don't have the exact precise definition of a straw man argument.
Well, no. He's pointing out that it is the case, in fact, that when you're debating, fallacies are the, the most important aspect of what your opponent is saying or not saying.
So point out one that I've done.
The straw man is a fallacy.
Sure. So to point out one example that I've done so far.
Well, so straw man is when you take an opponent's position and then you reframe the position to argue against a weaker point they didn't make.
I did not do that at any point.
You literally did. I was saying that yes, when the first time a girl comes over, yes, I want her to, you know, cook and clean and do my laundry. And then your framing was, Brian, that's transactional because you're saying if you pay for the dinner, then there's an expectation because you pay for the dinner that uh the woman should do that. Those words never left my mouth. So that would be the straw man. Because you're misrepresenting what I said.
Yes. But my argument is that even if [clears throat] you don't qualify it as a transactional relationship, it factually is.
Well, that's not an argument.
That's not even true.
That's not even an argument. It factually is.
