Good point, Poet. The "Trilemma" of CS Lewis is a great example.
First step, start with a desired conclusion. (preconception)
Second step, oversimplify the alternatives, stating that there are only one or two other options (false dilemma)
Third step, strawman the other possibilities in order to dismiss them.
