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.

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.
