Hello, you're looking absolutely fantastic today.
I think I get this for now:
Inductive Reasoning:
Nobody has every seen a cat in space. Therefore there are no cats in space.
Deductive Reasoning
Given that I think all cats are nice, and given that my cat is a cat, it can be deduced that I think my cat is nice.
Abductive Reasoning
My cat hasn't got testicles. Therefore, by abductive reasoning, the possibility that it is female is reasonable. Actually he's neutered.
But how do I remember which is which, any mnemonics? Concrete applications in daily life?
Also can you check that I have it right?
Thanks
