It currently has one sense:

  1. Exhibiting a love of sophistry or logical reasoning; philosophical; may include fallacious reasoning.

It may need to be edited somehow. The "may include fallacious reasoning" does not sound right.

It seems this needs a request for cleanup more than a request for verification - it is very easy to verify, and I have cited it. I also cleaned up the definition a bit. (and the "fallacious reasoning" is very much part of what this word means, which you can determine by checking other dictionaries) Kiwima (talk) 22:23, 10 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
Good job, and I agree; it would be surprising if a sophist wouldn't occasionally include fallacies. Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 09:55, 11 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
