A witch did it, using logically unexplainable magic. Therefore, you cannot logically explain it, and I win!
What? That doesn’t even make sense...
It might not make sense using your paradigms (such as science, evidence, or logic), but I am using a different paradigm (unexplainable magic defined by my whim), and I don’t accept any refutations coming from your paradigm. In democracy, all paradigms are equal, and emotionally, I prefer my paradigm. Therefore, I win!
Presuppositionalism is a school of Christian apologetics that believes the Christian faith is the only basis for rational thought. It presupposes that the Bible is divine revelation and attempts to expose flaws in other worldviews. It claims that apart from presuppositions, one could not make sense of any human experience, and there can be no set of neutral assumptions from which to reason with a non-Christian.
Steelmanning anything:

That’s made of straw, not steel.
Not really...
That’s not the best monster you can make out of hacked off pieces of “anything”, sorry. That’s just him mocking “anything”.
Well I agree that it’s not a steelmanning, but it’s also not a strawman either.
For some it’s an improvement in honesty, if not logical validity
