spurious
含义: Not genuine, authentic, or true; false or fabricated, often with the intent to deceive.
Spurious is used to describe claims, arguments, evidence, or connections that appear valid on the surface but are actually false or unfounded. In statistics, a 'spurious correlation' refers to an apparent relationship between variables that is caused by a third factor or coincidence. The word carries a stronger implication of deception or intellectual dishonesty than simply 'wrong' or 'incorrect.'
