idiot math

The calculus that goes on in the mind of an idiot that leads them to make bad decisions.

P1: "Wait, what possible reason could he have had to punch that cop? There's no possible permutation stemming from that that doesn't get him arrested, or possibly worse."
P2: "You're just not doing the idiot math here. Put yourself into the mindset of a 12th century peasant and you'll understand why he made the choice he did."
P1: "I still don't understand."
P2: "If he defeats the cop, then that guy can't tell him what to do anymore. He wins in his own mind, and that's all that's important."
P1: "Oh ok, I think I understand idiot math now."
