::::: Looks like you need to go and reread the definition of strawman since you seem to be confused about it. I directly refuted the points '''you''' brought up, quoting ''your'' words directly.
::::::: I know what a strawman argument is. It was your last statement (''Where is there '''ANY''' mention ...''). In any case, saying "'''So?'''" after a statement isn't a refutation. Some people think I disagree about the triviality of some of the task's requirements. I don't think they aren't trivial (yeah, I know, double negative). I was attempting to explain the differences as I see them (however trivial they appear) and in doing so, doesn't make my thoughts/writings on these matters disingenuous. Calling them that isn't a productive way to have a discussion when you start categorizing/defaming people's opinions that don't agree with yours. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 20:41, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
::::: There ''is'' no requirement that you <u>load</u> a dictionary, so talking about task requirements (even trivial ones) dealing with loading, filtering and storing the dictionary '''IS COMPLETELY BESIDES THE POINT'''. The requirement is that you '''use''' a specific dictionary. How it is done is peripheral to the task. The task is '''Find words containing the substring "the"'''. In what way does loading the dictionary for this ''task'' differ from that in: [[Prime words]] or [[Odd words]] or [[Alternade words]] or [[ABC words]] or [[Teacup_rim_text]] or many others? It doesn't. <quote>It's common sense</quote> But it is '''not''' a requirement, so using that as a justification for why this task is different '''IS COMPLETELY BESIDES THE POINT'''.
