An all-too-common mistake that tanks make.

[Kraggy]

That doesn't mean what you think it means. A straw man argument is restating your argument in simplistic terms so as to make it easier to take down.

Actually it does mean what he thinks it means, it's YOU that doesn't understand it:

A straw man or straw person, also known in the UK as an Aunt Sally,[1][2] is a common type of argument and is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position.[3] To "attack a straw man" is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by replacing it with a superficially similar yet unequivalent proposition (the "straw man"), and to refute it, without ever having actually refuted the original position.[3][4] This technique has been used throughout history in polemical debate, particularly in arguments about highly charged, emotional issues. In those cases the false victory is often loudly or conspicuously celebrated.

It does NOT 'simplify' an argument it replaces it by another, because the person using it can't actually refute the original one.
