It would be great if someone used text analysis on transcripts of political debates and compiled a list of terms used as 'the worst arguments in the world', annotated with central meanings.
It would run into many problems, as people would argue about definitions and exceptions, but the very frequency of usage of specific words would more or less indicate their mindkilling potential.
Some people have started compiling that list.
That doesn't look like the same thing to me. It's just a list of "points refuted a thousand times", and not all of them have anything to do with the "worst argument in the world".
