        An <strong className="text-current">Ad Hoc</strong> (Latin for "to this") argument or rescue is an explanation entirely invented after the fact to save a flawed theory from being disproven.

          <strong>Post-Facto:</strong> It is not a prediction or a premise; it is an excuse created exactly at the moment it is needed.
        </li>
        <li>
          <strong>Untestable:</strong> Often, the ad hoc rescue introduces a new variable that cannot be independently tested or verified. E.g., "The psychic's powers didn't work because your negative energy interfered with them."

        <li>
          <strong>Complexity:</strong> It violates Occam's Razor by constantly adding new, unnecessary complexities to a theory just to keep it alive.
