terryvb commented on the word induction
Contrast induction and deduction using the example of Sherlock Holmes:
Induction: "The process of deriving general principles from particular facts or instances."
i.e. going from the specific to the general, from specific facts Holmes notices to general conclusions he reaches using the process of induction vs.
Deduction: beginning with general principles to then arrive at specific conclusions.
Sherlock Holmes uses induction, not deduction.
