They are not dependent of the position in question be \\\" right\\\" or \\\"wrong\\\". This \\\"occurs when a debater constructs a more easily defeated version of his opponent\\\'s position to attack, rather than addressing his real arguments. The fallacy takes its name from straw dummies used in old-fashioned combat training; these dummies were made to look like a potential opponent, but provide no actual resistance. The fallacy itself is comparable to defeating such a dummy, then proclaiming you have defeated an actual opponent.\\\" In other words, it is not needed the opinion and values of the audience to something be a strawman.
