Disingenuous

Disingenuous

1. Not straightforward or candid; insincere or calculating 2. Pretending to be unaware or unsophisicated; faux-naif

From Bartelsby.com American Heritage Dictionary site


How I see it used.

When someone makes a good argument and you do not want to acknowledge or address it, you can always accuse them of being disingenuous. Then you can move on.
