Strawmanning is when someone intentionally invents an incorrect interpretation of someone else's words, and then disproves or shows the faults with that wrong interpretation. That's precisely what we saw above.

Asking clarifying questions is the exact opposite of Strawmanning. Rather than assuming someone is wrong, it's better to ask for a clarifications first. That's what's happening in #41440133.
