postrat

Postrationalizer, someone who's good at coming up with very sensible sounding reasons for events or situtations after the fact that are attractive narratives but aren't based on factual evidence. Rationalizes for fitness with one's internal preferences rather than facing the messy reality.
Kenny is a postrat. He says Amazon was right to do layoffs because the company has become too distracted with many low value products, and executives clearly saw this. In fact, the company was simply reacting to market pressure to cut costs because every other company was.
