through a series of deductive, and inductive -- i have found out that i do the ladder more than the former -- that we as the people have lost sight of meanings of words for instance deductive and inductive reasoning. When people would say through a series of deductive reasoning the came to some conclusion, what they usually mean is inductive, which has never bugged me before until now. Inductive is what all people do everyday before they do something,

Example:
Cute boy walks past this is how it plays out in my head,
1. wow he is cute
2. should i talk to him
2a. i go up say i he says hi back we hit it off go out for out first date at... we end up having three kids...
2b. i go up i say hi he looks at me like i am crazy and walks away with his friend, he writes a blog about me and bashs my life... i kill myself from shame.

See i came to different conclusions in the same situation!!
