It is one of the oldest tricks [in the book] to make a purposeful misrepresentation of another person's position and then arguing against the fictitious position, [knocking it down]. It is the straw man rhetorical fallacy. Man 1 sets up a weak position and attributes it to Man 2, then attacks the weak position; like setting up and fighting a straw man, easily [knocking it down]. Then the opponent, Man 2 is drawn into defending himself against the misrepresentations, and Man 1 doesn't have to talk about his opponents actual position.
