Felling straw men says more about the feller than the felle.

If one addresses only the weakest arguments, one betrays the weakness of one’s own arguments.

Scholars, on the other hand, refuse…

“to argue sophistically, to suppress facts or arguments, to misstate the elements of the case, or misrepresent the opposite opinion.”

Scholars “use an intellectual scalpel…

rather than an ideological bludgeon,” to engage honestly and thoroughly with the most forcible criticism.
