Fathers of Linux Revealed: Tooth Fairy & Santa Claus

An anonymous reader writes "The Alexis de Tocqueville Institute, which published the results of their very thorough investigation today, turned out to be right. Linus really isn't the father of the Linux operating system. After having been found out, Linus had no choice but to admit -- this is what he has to say: 'Ok, I admit it. I was just a front-man for the real fathers of Linux, the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus.'"

I did not make any claim of causation.

I call straw man.
The Straw Man fallacy is committed when a person simply ignores a person's actual position and substitutes a distorted, exaggerated or misrepresented version of that position.

Many Atheists really should be called something else. ... A truer definition of the word, "atheist", could then be, "Could care less if there is or is not a God..."

No, having no particular belief in the existence or nonexistence of any god or gods is agnosticism. Specifically believing that no god or gods exist is atheism. Considering your use of "could care less", which is both hackneyed and grammatically incorrect, I'm not surprised you mixed them up.
