fallaciously
In misleading logical fashion
In a way that involves faulty reasoning or deceptive logic.
An argument presented fallaciously may sound convincing but rests on flawed premises or misleading connections: The study fallaciously equated correlation with causation.
The word carries a whiff of intellectual dishonesty—someone arguing fallaciously may know better.
