Definition
Argument by definition is an argument in which one or more terms are defined in such a way as to effectively be an argument for the speaker's position. It is a logical fallacy, due to the fact that its intent is to deceive the listener into agreeing with a different argument by presenting a similar (but more persuasive) argument as being identical – a sort of bait-and-switch tactic.
Also known as: Persuasive definition
