No. A straw man involves shooting down a ridiculous argument which is attributed to your critics. In this case, the argumentum ad populum would have been reasonable, and it would have been very unsurprising if it had been made. It would simply have been worng, so I answered it in advance. Not quite a straw man, but close. >> Fourth, traditional Lojban == Baseline.

Once you have cured yourself of the notion that CLL and Baseline are equivalent, you will be better prepared for the time when the BPFK almost inevitably makes some of the woldy obsolete.
