Syn. -- Deception; deceit; mistake. -- Fallacy,
Sophistry. A fallacy is an argument which professes to
be decisive, but in reality is not; sophistry is also false
reasoning, but of so specious and subtle a kind as to render it
difficult to expose its fallacy. Many fallacies are
obvious, but the evil of sophistry lies in its consummate art.
"Men are apt to suffer their minds to be misled by fallacies
which gratify their passions. Many persons have obscured and
confounded the nature of things by their wretched sophistry;
though an act be never so sinful, they will strip it of its guilt."
South.
