Straw men are an important part of the discussion. They are an analogy used when you have a real argument or are about to attack someone who doesn’t have a point. The straw man is basically an opponent/opposition that we can throw at you, without actually debating the issue. The red herring is essentially the same thing, unless you are being honest with yourself.
When you use a straw man, you are essentially saying, “I will never get any of this, I’m not taking it seriously,” which is a pretty common approach.
