an intricate argument

Answer 1

"a convoluted argument" has the most negative connotation. "Convoluted" implies unnecessarily twisted, confusing, or hard to follow. By contrast, "complex argument" is more neutral (describes difficulty or many parts), and "intricate argument" often sounds neutral-to-positive (skillfully detailed).
