My first attempt: bad faith is the operating assumption that a counterparty is not as interested in the truth as you are, which therefore justifies deceptive practices on your part

Bad faith: when worldviews differ, duplicity is just.

Alternatively: you aren't ethically responsible for anyone's assumptions — not even your own.

The essence of bad faith is to use good faith to delay detection of cheating. This can come when the punishment for cheating will be less or deferred enough to justify the upside. Or more interestingly when you pretend to play one game while actually playing another.

I like the approach to define it in terms of a deception about the game being played, or strategy

for real though: i think schopenhauer, in line with the stoics (and analogous to the Buddhists) constructed bad faith as a perennial crisis of the ego, projected into vaporous attachments, antagonisms, and anxieties--which make truth-seeking disciplines seem ephemeral & pointless

Bad faith treats true beliefs instrumentally. Truth is useful in defining how you can affect other agents’ beliefs (to your benefit) without being revealed as a liar. You need to be able to accurate reference past actions & others’ beliefs, so it’s more constrained than bullshit.

Any violation of the operating rules for an interaction, a misuse of the system. In arguments, it's most commonly that the arguer isn't interested in using evidence and reason to discover the truth and conducts themselves accordingly
-
The most common form it takes in arguments might be described as "strawmaning yourself"
