Your Definition
The idea that if you're discussing a viewpoint or theory that is highly contentious or controversial, if you make it seem like it is much too complex for the average person to understand, and only comprehensible to a select few, enlightened individuals in a secret smart-person club (such as yourself, of course), by using a lot of jargon and esoteric references that only other people in your very exclusive circle will get, then it will fool the [general public] into thinking that it must obviously be correct because it's "complicated", and discourage anyone from questioning it (and also, jerk yourself off for being so smart). Note: This does NOT apply to fields that actually are just extremely difficult to understand and over most people's heads (rocket science, [quantum physics], [nuclear engineering], etc.). This is when you take something that really isn't all that complicated, and act like it is, to give it an air of legitimacy.
