Bootstrap: Achieving success with minimal resources or support. It can also refer to reaching a conclusion based on uncertain or unreliable information.
To achieve success or make an argument despite limited resources or evidence is referred to as “bootstrap.” In the first example, a small business owner successfully bootstrapped her company by starting with very little money and growing it through hard work and determination. In the second example, a politician used bootstrap logic to make an unsupported claim and used it to support his conclusion. Both examples demonstrate the concept of bootstrap, whether it is in achieving success or making an argument without sufficient evidence.
