  Hi Mike, seems like it might be a germanism:

  aus Wikipedia, der freien Enzyklopädie

Rabulistik (von lateinisch rabire ÿÿtobenÿÿ, oder von rabula
ÿÿmarktschreierischer Advokatÿÿ) ist die (zweifelhafte) ÿÿKunstÿÿ,
wortwörtlich ÿÿrecht zu habenÿÿ bei einer Sache, die inhaltlich
unehrlich ist und nicht vertreten werden kann; also Wortverdreherei
oder Haarspalterei.


Best,


Jan
