Nah. It’s commonly meant to refer to the weakest form OF an opponent’s argument. And for the majority of us, it is NOT our argument at all. That, too, makes it a textbook straw man argument. Couple that with his arrogant insistence that people being pessimistic makes them fatalistic, paralyzed, and/or suicidal. How many of us must tell him that this is NOT what he’s seeing before he even begins to accept that we know what’s in our heads better than he does? If we aren’t worried on his term…
