"The Straw Man" is a classic example of the Straw Man fallacy, where an argument is made by creating a caricature of an opposing position that is exaggerated or misrepresentative of the actual argument.
For example: 'You're saying that you can eat as much cake as you want and still be healthy? That's just a bizarre claim!' This is a classic straw man, as the actual claim was simply to say 'I can enjoy cake in moderation.'
To avoid the straw man fallacy, it's essential to understand the actual argument being made and address it directly.
