Just a point: people don't make "deductions"..they actually "deduce"...you can't "take away" a theory...you create one with an intellectually thought out idea...a "deducement"

That sounds too much like "the douche mint" and who wants to be the dweeb that has to explain that one?

BTW... deductive reasoning means you "take away" those possibilities that don't make sense, thereby leaving you with a theory that DOES make sense, and therefor you've deduced several theories to one plausible possibility.

The Art of Deduction

It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.

When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.
