The Gandhi Effect 

Share definition Flag
When a person, action, or phrase is so far to one extreme that it becomes another extreme. Named after the character Gandhi from the first Civilization game. Gandhi would start with the lowest possible peace stat, and upon adoption of democracy, his peace stat would be lowered by 2. Due to his peace stat going below zero a bug would occur where it would loop around to 255, the highest in the game.
The flat earth theory is so stupid that it is actually smart due to the Gandhi Effect.
