There is a variation of this in the Health world that is often called "Vegan logic" which involves cherry picking (poor quality) evidence, ignoring counter-examples, moving the goalposts from one health marker to another, and if that doesn't work resorting to the vegan view of ethics. In the financial markets the people who say "I'm right and the market is wrong" exhibit these same patterns. The damage to the health and finances of these people is often very harsh but it is appalling how few change their behavior before major damage is done.
