    That’s not what a straw man is at all. Why do you hate dictionaries? Now that is a straw man.

    Also, there’s nothing inaccurate in the paraphrasing present. Joe made a claim that we don’t have the technology today to build the pyramids because he thinks we couldn’t get the quarried blocks out of the mountains. Removing the additional words after pyramids in that sentence doesn’t change the ending, it just removes the explanation of why.

    What you’re doing is being pedantic, but poorly because you keep getting it wrong.
