- js2 7y agoIf one disagrees with an argument because it's superficial, then one might call it "specious." If one disagrees because the argument is invalid, then the word is "spurious." I think based on the counter argument, "spurious" is what was wanted. https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/specious-vs-spurious-usage-guide https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/specious-vs-sp...
- sterkekoffie 7y agoI think either would be appropriate but I suggested specious because it rhymes with facetious and I often mix up rhyming words myself.
