I learned this word a few days ago and am just so fond of it.
casuistry: * n. the use of clever but unsound reasoning, esp. in relation to moral questions; sophistry. * the resolving of moral problems by the application of theoretical rules to particular instances.
(source: The New Oxford American Dictionary, second edition, 2005)
Come on, use it in a sentence; you know you want to.
