I think its also worth taking into consideration that often people don't give a hoot about "straw men" or debating terminology, they just want to chat about Dhamma with a friendly group of people in a relaxed non-confrontational atmosphere

"Straw Man" is simply shorthand for distorting what another person is saying and arguing against the distortion.
