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.
