Rayism

When an immoral, unprincipled person makes an absurd statement that contradicts all the evidence in the hope of 'blinding' people (like the rays of the sun) from the truth. A rayism is most often used by an unscrupulous boss who persecutes staff to hide his own failings. Because a rayism makes ridiculous claims, it tends to convince nobody except the person making the statement.

Christopher informed his staff that the dreadful results in Lab IB were superior to the highly successful results in Lab A2 because they allowed far more room for improvement. A rayism has occurred because the failures were considered to better than the successes.
