A strawman is a logically flawed position that one attributes to another party and then deconstructs. A thought experiment is a possibility one explores in order to gain insight into related implications. Thought experiments need not be realistic, although the matter of RF has not been adequately dealt with in this instance, because there is an unwarranted assumption that Shawyer et al. do not want RF. They do not need to be nincompoops to notice a correlation between thrust and benign RF.
