What's the word for an argument that has far too many variables or steps of logic to be credible? Tenuous doesn't sound right, but it's close.

I would say "shitty," but that's kind of the umbrella term for a whole lot of arguments.

Specious isn't quite what I mean. What I am describing (to the client, so shitty doesn't work) is an argument by one party where they have to show all sorts of things that are highly disputed in order to make their point-- [edited out of an abundance of work caution] "As you can see from this description, this argument is extraordinarily [tenuous, I guess]."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How is this a well-titled cemetery? I mean, I know the source of the name isn't what immediately comes to mind, but still--that's part of the problem.
Looming large deadline moved two weeks. Doesn't ease up the tension one bit.

I would say that the argument is a house of cards, but I'm sure there's a better term for it out there.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Seems like a totally unremarkable name to me, at least for a Catholic cemetery.

I think 3 of four grandparents of mine are buried in a Resurrection Cemetery
