    Stick the examples I offered.

    No. You can accept my response as an example of groupthink being completely wrong.

      Then you are strawmanning.

      Arguing the more easily defeated interpretation.

      Rather than steelmanning.

      Which means arguing the actual point.

      And to do that. Hmm. Why would anybody do that?

        Then you are strawmanning.

        That is not a straw man. The other user is simply not cooperating on the arbitrary restrictions that you’re imposing on his argument. A straw man would require him to misrepresent your position.

        You are however cherry picking.

          Arbitrary? It’s literally the examples I offered in the title.

          Which also implies the class of “stuff they saw but we don’t see”. And he could have gone there too.

          But no. He went for the caricature.

          You people.
