Main Entry: straw man
Function: noun
1 : a weak or imaginary opposition (as an argument or adversary) set up only to be easily confuted

In order for that to work, I'd have to try and say Linux has better useability than Windows, just so other's could shoot it down. By my saying Linux isn't better in useability and everyone agreeing, is just the opposite of a strawman.

If anything, your assertion that Linux password feature that allows for better user experience (useability) is a strawman because it's clear Linux is not a better experience overall.

You're right. I used the wrong word. It still doesn't change the fact that you switched subjects to divert attention.
