Special Argument

An argument designed for a unique, narrow, or highly technical context, often relying on jargon, specific legal precedents, or intricate details unknown to a general audience. It can be perfectly valid within its sphere but incomprehensible or irrelevant outside of it.

Example: "The lawyers spent hours on a special argument about the jurisdictional precedent under the maritime law of the 18th century as it applied to a digital asset transaction. It was critically important to the case and utter gibberish to anyone else in the courtroom."
