to which I replied<p><pre><code>  &quot;Why do you think rationality and survival are 
  specifically at odds with being a pirate?&quot;

Your comment is distilled down to<p><pre><code>  if strictly rational and &amp; interested in survival, then not pirates

So my question asking why you think this is not following incorrect logic, let alone a <i>strawman</i> -- if you&#x27;re going to be pedantic about rhetoric then at least know what fallacy you&#x27;re accusing of me means. You can&#x27;t just say &#x27;thats a strawman!&#x27; when someone drills down on your argument.
