I know what FSM is not, and it's something that moves around and in-between space and time and thinks about when or how it should intervene. FSM will often roll Its cosmic 100 octillion sided die and if it comes up a specific number, FSM intervenes. These events are so rare and unpredictable someone foolish might say they are inseparable from random chance, I know better of course.
FSM is the source and sustenance of existence, but I don't know — I cannot know — what that is, directly, only indirectly what results from it, such as matter and consciousness. I also know that I am not FSM, Just Its messenger.
Whatever representations we make are only imperfect analogies and metaphors. So you could say that any description of FSM is a limitation and caricature and, therefore, a straw-man.
