稻草人论证 Straw man
（重定向自Straw men）
稻草人（straw man）论证或稻草人谬误、攻击稻草人、刺稻草人、打稻草人是曲解对方的论点，针对曲解后的论点（替身稻草人）攻击，再宣称已推翻对方论点的论证方式，是一种非形式谬误。
稻草人论证有时会和「偷换主题」、「偷换概念」混称，但严格而言未必相等：后二者是蓄意扭曲原论点，而稻草人论证可能是攻击者有心扭曲对方论点以达贬低效果，也可能是攻击者无心地误解了对方论点，或对方论述不清致使攻击者误会。

Straw man 稻草人论证
（重定向自Straw men）
A straw man is a common form of argument and is an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an argument that was not advanced by that opponent.
The so-called typical "attacking a straw man" argument creates the illusion of having completely refuted or defeated an opponent's proposition by covertly replacing it with a different proposition (i.e. "stand up a straw man") and then to refute or defeat that false argument ("knock down a straw man") instead of the original proposition.
