Deduction vs. Induction
Question for readers. Please read the following definitions: Induction: The process of deriving general principles from particular facts or instances. Deduction: The process of reasoning in which a conclusion follows necessarily from the stated premises; inference by reasoning from the general to the specific. Now, please answer these poll questions: Results so far: 81, 1, 8, 3.... I want to blog on the topic of deduction & inductive reasoning in our culture today in the near future, but am curious to get some data samples from GNXP readers to test a few hypotheses that are floating in my head....
