Straw Man Fallacy
The Straw Man Fallacy is a common argumentative tactic where someone misrepresents or oversimplifies another person's argument to make it easier to attack. Instead of addressing the actual point, the person creates a distorted version, which is easier to refute. This can lead to misunderstandings and derail constructive discussions.
For example, if person A advocates for better environmental regulations, person B might respond by claiming that person A wants to shut down all factories. This misrepresentation distracts from the original argument about environmental protection and creates a false debate, undermining effective communication.
