The Javelin Argument typically refers to a specific logical reasoning tactic used in debates to counter an opposing argument by emphasizing a critical flaw or oversight. The term may not be widely recognized in either formal logic or well-established rhetorical studies, but it suggests a strategy of pinpointing weaknesses in an opponent's position, much like a javelin is thrown precisely at a target.
