A common term around the office is the “Silver Bullet”. It refers to the notion that some simple radical instrument or change is going to fix all the problems that are being encountered. I have begun referring to these instead as “Silver Boomerang” ideas. The implications of the term are that the results of the change are difficult to predict, and have the likely potential to smack you in the back of your head. Wham!
