When using casuistries, be sure you have a serious moral dilemma on your hands, otherwise you will piss off the person(s) you are trying to help.
Btw unca p., you misspelled casuistry.  I had to look up what your word meant.  p.s. - Don't hold that sentence to be a correct usage. I barely understood what the definition was saying.

"complex reasoning to justify moral laxity."
I've been employing casuistry all of my life  , in a convoluted sort of way. If you don't like it.... kiss the crevice!
