Logification Bias
The error of believing that making something sound logical—by structuring it with "therefore," "because," and "it follows that"—is the same as it being logical or true. It confuses the aesthetic of logic with its substance.
Example: A conspiracy theory that begins, "Based on publicly available data, we can deduce the following sequence..." and then lays out a chain of connected-sounding but evidence-free assertions. The logification bias leads people to accept it because it feels logical in its presentation, bypassing critical evaluation.
