The argumentative technique you cite—arguing X on the basis of Y, Y is defeated, switch to arguing X based on Z, Z is defeated, switch back to Y—looks like an example of what I call position dancing.
Would you agree that there seems to be a large overlap between “logical rudeness” and rhetorical deception?
Oooh yes, I knew there was something back in the LW wiki about this and I just couldn’t think of it. I’ve added a link to the “Dark arts” wiki page in the main Rhetorical deception article (under “Reference”).

If “rhetorical deception” means “Dark Arts”, then yes.
