Cargo Cult Policy 

Self-serving policies such as entitlement to any item that comes into your reach as the result of your having dreamed about it before or it reminds you of something you have dreamed about before or is something you might dream about or want in the future. Opposite to Wikipedia type policies which forbid keeping anything you have offered in the past, offer now in the present or may want to offer in the future, unless you are an actual member of their cult.

Cargo-Culting 

The act of copy and pasting code from a source (book, website, CD_ROM etc) into code you are writing, without first understanding what it does.
