Words that simply can't be countered
The persistent straw man that "kjv-onliers" are dumb fundamentalists who don't know anything about the sacred academic discipline of textual criticism, or language, or history, is a bit tired at this point. It seems those most angry at the traditional text side are stuck at the stage of the sixteen year old boy who has discovered his first seminary library (or even public library) and is living the angry, unending epiphany that his fundamentalist father or preacher or townfolk were too stupid to know such libraries existed or did know it and were keeping such knowledge away from him.
None of that maturing and psychological drama has anything to do with the fact that the Alexandrian manuscripts are more corrupt than an edition of Pilgrim's Progress that's passed through the care of an Islamic publishing house.

It seems to me to be a sweeping negative generalization (stereotype) rather than a straw man per se. It is still tiresome, of course.
