Tafsiri - Kilatini-Kiingereza - argumenta ad hominem

Context:

[...] publication of the results is likely to be hedged around with qualifications, argumenta ad hominem directed at the authors and technical quibbles that would never be directed at any paper supporting a more orthodox view.

This latin phrase commonly refers to a class of fallacious arguments which attack the person propounding the position argued against, instead of treating the position itself.
