Document Summary

Inductive arguments: deductive arguments is an argument that if done correctly provides absolutely airtight support for its conclusion. In a good deductive argument, if the premises are true then the conclusion must be true: premise 1 all engineers are licensed, premise 2 tobias is an engineer, conclusion tobias has a license. Categorical arguments: arguments about what things are in what categories, usually relating different categories to each other, all competing products are threats, but some alternative products are not competing products. So some alternative products are not threats: all investments are expenses. Therefore some tax deductions are not investments: have categorical claims for premises & conclusions, categorical claims claims about what things (or categories of things) are part of what other categories. Categorical claims: all false claims about categories is still a categorical claim, all managers are geniuses, no employees are volunteers, some smartphones have tough-screens, some companies are not corporations, notice the amount : some, all, no, not.
