traitement exceptionnel/spécial


Explanation:
From provided références:

"Traitement Exceptionnel (Special Pleading)
Un argument par traitement exceptionnel suppose que la justification pour une certaine affirmation est d'un plus haut niveau de connaissance que ce que votre opposant peut comprendre, et donc qu'il n'est pas qualifié pour en parler."

"I19. Traitement spécial (Special Pleading)
Appliquer à un échantillon des règles différentes de celles qui s'appliquent à la population générale, sans justification adéquate."
