Also, understanding the difference between inductive and deductive reasoning which I just learned. It's kind of something you understand when you see it, but don't have the terms for it.

Deductive Reasoning is stronger way of arguing. Deductive reasoning lets you come to a truthful conclusion IF the the premises are true.

Wikis allows contributors to edit pages True. Wikipedia is a Wiki. True. Therefore, we can say this conclusion is true : Wikipedia allows contributors to edit pages.

Inductive Reasoning is where the premise infers the conclusion is true, but the conclusion is not necessarily true, the conclusion does not have to follow.

Inductive Reasoning Every swan ever seen by an Englishman has been white.
Therefore every swan is white.

For awhile the premise was true and the conclusion seemed true since it was based on empircal evidence. However, it was not true as they discovered a species of swan in Australia that was black.

There is a ton of inductive reasoning going on this board and I'm not sure that people realize they are making an argument where their conclusion may or may not be true.

Here's our Premise. Wikileaks released a document showing that pedophiles often use spirals or butterflies as symbols to identify each other

Let's add another premise Sally is wearing a butterfly necklace and spiral earings.

Here's our Conclusion, Therefore we can say it's proven that Sally is a pedophile.

This is very weak argument. We don't know if Sally knows about the symbols at all. And all kinds of people wear butterfly or spiral jewelry are not pedophiles.

Pizzagate was built and a massive leap of logic based on inductive reasoning in the Podesta emails. Every bit of the "code" is inductive reasoning. Once you grasp this concept and the difference between deductive and inductive, I'm sure you can identify a lot of cases of inductive reasoning in the emails.

There's enough evidence against Podesta to send him to the gas chamber. The shower video is him it's his voice yelling at that kid. The handkerchief email and the email where he talks about killing Scalia the wetworks email more than enough to arrest and convict Podesta. So why is he still walking around free and riding in limos to TV interviews and writing a column for the Washington Post? Because he is above the law at the moment. He and his friends are untouchable. But not for long. Soon they all go down.

KnightsofHubris

He's walking around free because everything you said is bullshit.

You should not be permitted to use the world evidence.

thank you, I like this.

Watch out guys, we have trolls trying to kill our morale. Stay vigilant, never give up, and endure to the end.

PGIsInsanity

No you won't, you will make insane rationalizations and not admit that there is ZERO evidence in the Podesta e-mails showing the existence of a ritual child rape and sacrifice ring operating in places like that pizzeria in Washington DC.

dougG

Unfortunately we don't have one piece of real usable evidence yet.....

PGIsInsanity

And unfortunately you never will because pizzagate is just a ridiculously dumb conspiracy theory.

VieBleu

but pedogate has bite. And legs.

RoadPizza

lol, nice try troll.

PGIsInsanity

Yea too bad for you what I've said is actually true.

RoadPizza

Yea ok, if you say so. Good luck trolling

RoadPizza

Be patient, the case is building and every piece of evidence is crucial.

carlip

0+0 is still 0. Every piece of circumstantial evidence is worthless in court and clearly worthless to the DA for securing a warrant.

PGIzInsanity

And why is that? Why do you think the all the pizzagate "evidence" is useless in court? Is it because it's just a pile of cognitive error shit, while there actually being zero evidence of a crime?

RoadPizza

Patience and optimism is key, circumstantial evidence will only make us dig deeper.

carlip

Skepticism and proof is key. What you have is a nice dog and pony show going. Might as well start praying... Oh wait some of the users here have. smh

In the last hundred years, thousands of innocent men have been jailed or executed in the U.S. on much less circumstantial evidence as currently exists for one or more of the suspects constantly discussed here. The difference between the wrongly accused and the guilty ones eluding justice is only a degree of wealth, power, and resources.

RoadPizza

Where there is smoke, there is fire. We'll see where the evidence leads us and this investigation will not stop until the Fat Lady Sings. hahahahaha
