  Btw, this comic strip talks about, what it calls, professional strawmen:

  In other words, someone who has been secretly hired by some political
party (or, I imagine, by some company wanting to push through some view)

deliberately losing the debate.

  I wonder if this happens in real life. It doesn't sound at all far-fetched.
