Thomas Hobbes, The Art of Sophistry (17thC)
Although the rules of Sophistry be needless for them that be perfect in logic; yet because the knowledge of them bringeth some profit to the young beginners, both for the ready answering of the subtle arguments, and the better practising of logic and rhetoric, we have thought good to turn it into the English tongue.
Sophistry is the feigned art of elenches, or coloured reasons.

Read Bill Clinton's book. It is filled with sophistry. "That depends on what is is."
