Lawyers aren't sworn in unless they're witnesses - and lawyer's arguments are not supposed to be treated as factual by juries - and certainly are not treated as factual by judges. ;^)

I'd put a finer spin on it. Lawyer's arguments are not evidence to be considered by the jury. It is, however, the fondest hope of a trial lawyer that the jury will consider their arguments factual.
