maybe the judge will even try to be extra nice when he explains why the argument doesn't hold water.

Many judges take a dim view of expensive lawyers trying to pull the wool over their eyes with sophisticated but fallacious arguments. You have to deal with a lot of BS to be a long-standing judge, so it seems like resistance to BS may be selected for among judges.

Sorting BS from non-BS is pretty much the daily job description for a judge.
