'''Sophistry''' (pronounced as SAH-fuh-stree) is an argument that has superficial appeal but is actually defective.

Examples:

* "impose gun control to reduce crime"; in fact, guns prevent more crimes than they cause
* "give the mother automatic custody of children in divorce to reduce divorce"; in fact, that leads to more divorce as it reduces incentives to maintain a marriage
