wait. someone says “higher taxes don’t affect X” and i reply with a simple “what happens if we turn the knob up to 10” and it’s a strawman?

no. just a simple point - at some level, high taxes stifle things. the question is at which level, not whether the phenomenon exists.

this ‘strawman’ - idonotthinkitmeanswhatyouthinkitmeans.

You are technically right, it isn’t a strawman, but it is a poor Reductio Ad Absurdum and you’ve simply shown the argument is not valid in all cases, not that it is invalid in all cases.
