The End Justifies the Means Bias
A cognitive bias where one automatically accepts or excuses problematic methods, processes, or actions because the stated goal is perceived as good, necessary, or noble—without adequately weighing the costs, consequences, or alternatives. Unlike the philosophical position that ends can sometimes justify means under careful consideration, this bias operates automatically and asymmetrically: good intentions become automatic warrants for otherwise unacceptable actions. It's the bias behind "we had to destroy the village to save it," "surveillance is justified because it keeps us safe," and "yes, CECOT is harsh, but it's fighting gangs." The bias lies in treating ends as automatic justifications rather than as one factor requiring careful balancing with means, consequences, and alternatives.
The End Justifies the Means Bias Example: "He supported the prison's brutality because it was 'fighting crime'—pure End Justifies the Means Bias, treating a good intention as automatic warrant for any method, without ever weighing whether the methods actually worked or what they cost."

Boffin
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
