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 Smith: The department I just audited is suffering from the Trelawney effect (or Sybill effect).

Auditor James: What did they do?

Auditor Smith: Told us that if we didn't leave this instant and stop disrupting them, then that the planet's core was going to mutate causing a cataclysmic and irreversible instability, our ears would sprout brain eating butterflies, every volcano on Earth would simultaneously erupt, and one out of ever forth human being would transform into a brain and blood sucking zombie/vampire.

Auditor James: What department were you auditing?

Auditor Smith: Congress.
