it is NOT a straw man - here is why thre is a hilluk::
While No ger is expected to be 100% faithful to Troah than any normal human
the Hilluk here is that the Ger in OUR CASE is artciulating his human
FRAILTY during hsi process of accepting the mitzvos. IOW he is going IN with
the foresight that he may fall down.  This is the Hiddush. Indeed there is
no hiddush if after accepting 100% w/o pre-conditions that he falls down he
is OK

See the Hilluk?
