The key to success is circular reasoning, because circular reasoning is the key.

Lela asserts that Fry must perform the job assigned “delivery boy” because the machine scientifically deduced that it was the job best suited for Fry.

Circular reasoning serves as a way to shut down conversation about a topic.

What's really funny is how often Circular Logic works out to be correct in some form. Take, for example, the job Fry ends up actually doing.

Circular logic often emerges because start points and end points of logical series can be muddy! As a result, the conclusion suggested by circular thinking can be accurate if the "circle is entered" so to speak . . .

If there is a strong series component to circular logic, the statement may prove out even if it is obviously flawed, because the true situational dynamics may remain a mystery.

Could you ever use both circular reasoning and the bandwagon fallacy simultaneously?

Nah, I disagree. She asserts Fry must be a delivery boy because that is what he's best at. That reasoning isn't circular at all.

I don't think this qualifies as a fallacy because she's just informing him of circumstance rather than arguing her position.
