Apologia

An apologia (Latin for apology, from Greek: ἀπολογία, lit. 'speaking in defense') is a formal defense of an opinion, position or action, [...] often in the context of religion, theology and philosophy. In modern usage, apologia describes a formal defense and should not be confused with the sense of the word 'apology' as an expression of regret; however, apology may mean apologia, depending on the context of use.

Apophenia

The tendency to perceive meaningful connections between unrelated things. Coined in 1958 by psychiatrist Klaus Conrad as "unmotivated seeing of connections [accompanied by] a specific feeling of abnormal meaningfulness". He described the early stages of delusional thought as self-referential over-interpretations of actual sensory perceptions, as opposed to hallucinations. Apophenia has also come to describe a human propensity to unreasonably seek definite patterns in random information, such as can occur in gambling.

[And/or excessive theorizing on corruption conspiracies - and/or contrarily, the inability to recognize obvious corruption conspiracies? A refusal to deny faith in corrupt authority.]
