Faulty argument (7)

Ross

I think it could be either:

sophism

fallacy

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">faulty argument</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for fallacy that I've seen before include "Delusion" , "Faulty reasoning or mistaken belief" , "A mistake in reasoning" , "'Misconception, false belief (7)'" , "Illogical argument" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, the Penny Press and the Newsday.com.
