Trelawney effect
1. a person or organization whom makes unorthodox references, actions, implications, crazy juxtapositions, threats, looming etc. in an all out and defensive manner that resemble professor sybill patricia trelawney from j.k. rowling harry potter series, when she is receiving an “performance audit”-like interrogation by dolores umbridge, when their usefulness is challenged.
2. a person or government bureaucracy whom commits a slippery slope or camel’s nose fallacy through an exceptionally egregious manner in an effort to justify their perpetual existence.

auditor james: what department were you auditing?
auditor smith: congress.
