What is the most logically empty argument that supports capitalism?
Specifically, what arguments fail (that support capitalism) due to faulty evidence, misunderstanding of capitalism, lack of knowledge regarding Marxism, etc.?

Capitalism = Freedom. We are slaves to the system, and escape is near impossible.
Probably not the most, but:
“Capitalists are job creators.”
The jobs will exist with or without them.
I think it's stupid as much as anyone who's not gen Z, but to claim it's not real because it's not something I can understand is a little boomer-like. Guess we're doing the whole "everything from my childhood is how it should be and the previous/next generations are stupid/misguided if they disagree" shtick.
"Having money is nice, I want to have a lot of money because I love spending money, and I want my personal freedom regarding the way I spend my money. I work hard for my money, and so do others. That leads to innovation and progress and is the only way to preserve freedom. Therefore, I support capitalism, and therefore, I am a capitalist."
The free market is much more efficient and better for the public.
I think we can all agree privatiation of pretty much everything didn't work out that well
