Straw Man Attacks

I agree, BerntR.

The same is true of most arguments "against" Homer Kelley and his work. Here's the way the fraud goes down:

A perpetrator establishes the "strawman" argument, i.e., a misrepresentation of The Golfing Machine. He then proceeds to attack it, in one or more of at least five creative ways, and thereby "wins" the battle -- at least in his own mind (and perhaps in the minds of his followers). His argument is fallacious, of course, because only the misrepresentation is being attacked, not the actual work.
