I do not think it’s a strawman - I think most people agree that alcohol and private car ownership shouldn’t be banned, so it’s fair to bring this out as a preemptive argument.
It’s an honest mistake if someone responds in some unexpected way.
Like if I brought up the Holocaust in an argument and suddenly someone said
The Holocaust Never Happened
I wasn’t strawmanning them, lol. I was making the rational assumption that I am not talking to a Holocaust denier.
