You apparently have mistaken the meaning of the word "strawman". This means an argument attributed to the other person, which they did not actually make. A strawman is "set up" and "knocked down" easily in the midst of a dispute --- because that's easier than engaging the arguments which the other person *did* make.

Kinda like "Mother of GOD"?
