OP It seems a lot of words originate from the names of those who first demonstrate the practice of them. Here is my small, slightly arrogant effort:
Seddonist, n: one who gives bad advice as a rhetorical device that demonstrates the foolishness of the suggested course of action, (e.g "The best thing to do is to worry constantly about this problem until it solves itself")
That's not a very good example, but seddonism a useful method of explaining things. Believe me.
