| | non sequitur | Explanation:
There are a couple of glossary entries already for this term (over-simplified & simplistic). However, here I think it would be better to somehow use 'non sequitur', meaning that the complainants' argument does not follow logically from their premisses.
-> "These examples, advanced in Complainant's memorandum, are non sequitur to the validity of the agreement and the presence of duress."
http://www.oalj.dol.gov/public/wblower/decsn/00sta32a.htm
-> "Respondent argues that such a conclusion is a non-sequitur since there is nothing about work done in one's home which makes it easy or routine."

E.g. \"This statement by the complainants is, however, a non sequitur\". |
