Creep
Creep or subreption (from Latin "subreptio") is a term of Roman law that was considered common law in Europe until the 19th century.
In today's law, the term is mainly preserved as fraudulent achievements .
In the German philosophy of the 18th century, the concept of a “mistake made by trickery” (Latin vitium subreptionis) played an important role. Christian Wolff and Immanuel Kant warned against confusing non-empirical and empirical ideas and thus stealing the empirical origin of certain ideas.
In traditional logic, "by fraud" is, on the one hand, the achievement of a wrong result based on a correct conclusion, but wrong prerequisites, which may already contain the desired result in an unclear formulation. On the other hand, it is a wrong conclusion in the syllogism , in which the middle term in the major and minor clause is not identical ( quaternio terminorum , quadrupling of the terms).
