pragmatic fallacy - The Skeptic's Dictionary - Skepdic.com

The pragmatic fallacy is committed when one argues that something is true because it works and where 'works' means something like "I'm satisfied with it," "I feel better," "I find it beneficial, meaningful, or significant," or "It explains things for me." For example, many people claim that [I]astrology [I]works, [I]acupuncture works, chiropractic works,homeopathy works, numerology works, [I]palmistry works,[I]therapeutic touch works. What 'works' means here is vague and ambiguous. At the least, it means that one perceives some practical benefit in believing that it is true, despite the fact that the utility of a belief is independent of its truth-value.[/I][/I][/I][/I][/I]
