I\\\'m not sure about the removal of RealLife examples. Though I understand your point, there are plenty of RealLife examples of people using other people as strawmans. (Strawmen?) For example, Ted Kaczynski is often used as a shortcut for \\\"crazy, dangerous loner\\\". If you are compared to him, it is almost guaranteed not to be a compliment. Yet, if you read the Unibomber Manifesto, he actually makes quite a bit of sense in his \\\'\\\'analysis\\\'\\\' of how technology can isolate people and fracture society.
