The straw man fallacy occurs in the following pattern of argument:
Person 1 (lets call him JG) asserts proposition X.
Person 2 (lets call they Sal) argues against a superficially similar proposition Y, falsely, as if an argument against Y were an argument against X.
This reasoning is a fallacy of relevance: it fails to address the proposition in question by misrepresenting the opposing position.

so we can all agree I nailed it, as usual
