Regardless of my opinions on the sentence in question, I ain't gonna undermine or second-guess Bunsen.

A straw man argument is a logical fallacy where you change someone's argument to something that's more easily refuted. For example, if person A argues that gun laws need to be strengthened, and person B responded "Well why not just throw open our doors to let all the criminals murder us in our sleep?", that would be a straw man argument.
