Something really stupid and anoying they make you learn in Communication Studies graduate programs even though you're a rhetorician and couldn't really give a rat's ass.
Logical positivism asserts that only statements about empirical observations are meaningful, effectively asserting that all metaphysical statements are meaningless. Unfortunately, this fundamental tenet of logical positivism belongs to the family of statements that it asserts to be meaningless. As a result, the entire edifice of logical positivism vanishes in a puff of logic. This insight appears not to have occurred to the logical positivist school of philosophers.

Fringe Logic literally means Logic on the fringe of Illogical.
A form of thinking or thought patterns that are based on irrational and or tangent based logic. It is a pattern of thinking based on outlandishness and at times denial of real logic or sound reasoning.
A good example of this is what goes on in the heads of Conspiracy Theorists. Example: people who believe in a flat earth denying scientific observation over what we have known for hundreds of years because of a perception everything we know is wrong.
Another example of fringe logic is when someone drinks poison thinking it will kill whatever is making them sick too leading them to a cure.
Fringe Logic is associated with bad ideas and worse implementation. It also applies to counter culture.

Example 1:
I know you told me you are going to a job interview dressed in drag. I have no clue what fringe logic led you to that idea but I am going to say I hope you like rejection.
Example 2:
Did you hear that guy preaching how our current president is the Anti-Christ? He tried to sound so intellectual but his fringe logic was all over the place. No wonder nobody gets along with that guy.
