Instead, they are just trying to use fancy terms to get people that already agree with you to agree with you by asserting that the people who disagree with you are illogical.  See, e.g., the Crab Bucket Fallacy, the Stormwind Fallacy, the Oberoni Fallacy et al. What you are doing is, in fact, using the straw man fallacy. The primary opposition from people that oppose creating a Fighter with "all the same abilities" as a Wizard is not that no one would play a vanilla fighter; instead, it's because there are people that do not want those abilities in a martial character. Whether that is good, or bad, is a different issue. Some people like Conan, others prefer Wuxia. But that's the real argument.There is a separate, and collateral, issue as to balance, both between similar classes and as to the related issue of "niche protection" and so-called spotlight issues, but that's not the primary basis for most objections.</blockquote>
