Frosty the straw man

The reinforcement runaway is a straw man

I am becoming extremely familiar with the "straw man" version of
reinforcement theory: it is every version of reinforcement theory that is
proposed by a PCTer. I just don't recall ever running into the _real_ (non-
straw) version of reinforcement theory. I sure am glad you are out there
looking for it in the snows of Buffalo; now, don't bring back a snow man
version of reinforcement theory by mistake;-)

Best
