"They thought your casuistry, prevarication..." http://books.google.com/books?id=ZHMGQ9HROHIC&pg=PA136&dq=%22your+casuistry%22&hl=en&ei=-p6zTf3rOsXliALi1vSvBg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CDUQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q=%22your%20casuistry%22&f=false

'But whatever may have been their motives, your casuistry is indeed "darkness visible".' http://books.google.com/books?id=auAtAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA22&dq=%22your+casuistry%22&hl=en&ei=-p6zTf3rOsXliALi1vSvBg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=7&ved=0CEUQ6AEwBg#v=onepage&q=%22your%20casuistry%22&f=false

"I cannot be deceived by your casuistry again.” http://books.google.com/books?id=Y0GB7q_GnwAC&pg=PA170&dq=%22your+casuistry%22&hl=en&ei=-p6zTf3rOsXliALi1vSvBg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=9&ved=0CE8Q6AEwCA#v=onepage&q=%22your%20casuistry%22&f=false

"Your casuistry is mere sophistry." http://books.google.com/books?id=qK0HAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA57&dq=%22your+casuistry%22&hl=en&ei=XaCzTaLfCariiAK2qfivBg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CDAQ6AEwAjgK#v=onepage&q=%22your%20casuistry%22&f=false

etc. ad nauseum. A sophist as a prevaricant, a subtle debator, lying (or at least misleading) with rhetoric is a very common thema. - Amgine/^talk 04:05, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

But the citations are not for the term RfVed. I am well aware that "casuistry" is used pejoratively. DCDuring TALK 04:40, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
