Your fallacy here is: Straw man.  Nobody has claimed that ”strain [would not 
be] strain”. 

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fallacies#Red_herring_fallacies>

I have said that there are different kinds of strain.  The one that you are 
referring to (classical, non-relativistic) was _not_ observed at the LIGO 
detectors; the one I referred to (relativistic) was.

Yes, there is.  Go to the LIGO website [1] and watch the videos explaining 
the method of detection of GW150914 (e.g., [2]), their article on it, and/or 
their paper referred there [3], and do not post about this again until you 
did your homework.

Your fallacies here are:

  · /Argumentum ex silentio/
  · Shifting the burden of proof.
