Weathercock logic
-
the [fallacious] logic that justifies an action or result in whatever way it occurs. If it turns out to be good, it is [justified] and if not, it is also justified. For example, if a student fails his exams, this logic states that he fails because he has not studied hard. If he passes, it defends him by stating that he passes because of his [diligence].
