The straw man fallacy is a logical fallacy where someone misrepresents or distorts an opponent's argument, making it easier to attack or refute. Instead of addressing the actual argument, the person presents a distorted version of it, often exaggerating, oversimplifying, or misrepresenting the original position.
This fallacy is also known as the straw man argument, as it involves creating a "weak" version of the opponent's argument that is easier to defeat.
