Fooling the Victim: Of Straw Men and Those Who Fall for Them
https://muse.jhu.edu/article/796000

Katharina presented this idea awhile back and the paper's finally come out. She 
reinterprets the fallacy from the normal triad <arguer, strawmanner, audience> 
to a *temporal*, but dyadic <arguer@t1, strawmanner, arguer@t2>. That makes it 
much more practical, at least in the sense of, for example, reading your own 
code a year after you wrote it ... or even in the sense of parallelized 
behaviors - as a demonstration of why pair-programming works, where the arguer 
is of "two minds", one who constructs things and one who evaluates things. That 
latter even applies to a multi-tasking separation of thought vs. finger-memory 
and typos.
