Amanductive Reasoning

The process of constructing a completely incorrect statement and then asserting it as truth. An Amanductive approach to persuasion consists of putting forth an irrelevant or incoherent statement and backing it as truth without consideration of counter-arguments.

Jose: Bro, how did you get suckered into going to the Justin Bieber Concert?!

Carlos: Man, I don't even know! She used Amanductive reasoning to persuade me to go, and the next thing I know, I'm bopping my head to "Baby"...

motivated reasoning

Working backwards in logic, disregarding the facts in order to support an erroneous conclusion. Motivated reasoning is in contrast to logical reasoning.

I know you're telling me the fact that Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with 9/11, but my motivated reasoning tells me he did.

We invaded Iraq because of 9/11. What we did in Iraq was right. Saddam Hussein was involved in plotting 9/11.
