Here's another idea.
Turn the bug into a feature, and promise it in the opening to your novel.
Strong Hero knew that every argument had its flaws. More to the point, whoever made the argument usually didn't even see the error in
their thinking. And that was critical. Finding the flaw, seeing the crucial mistake, the weak link - was a skill she had honed.
Their mistakes became her personal weapons.
Then you provide a few minor examples through action in real time or maybe through flashback. Now the audience knows they're in good hands.
The flaw in logic of the villain should be satisfying in some way, not an obvious 'he's so stupid' thing but a clever twist.
