A metalogic fallacy named after the Barnum-Forer effect (where people accept vague, generic statements as personally accurate). It applies this to reasoning: using broad, unfalsifiable logical claims that sound profound but are essentially meaningless or applicable to anything. The logic is so vague it can be stretched to "prove" any pre-existing bias, providing a facade of rationality without substantive rigor. It’s the intellectual equivalent of a fortune cookie.
