Rationalization

Explanation:

Rationalization: In psychology, the term rationalization is one of a defense mechanism which was introduced by the famous psychoanalyst named Sigmund Freud.

Rationalization is defined as the process through which an individual's controversial feelings and behaviors are being justified logically or rationally to ignore the actual explanation and therefore made consciously admirable.

In the question above, Melvin would be using rationalization.
