The Case For The Cumulative Case
This post builds upon my short series on building a cumulative case (Parts 1, 2, 3) and on last week's post about authorities.
The other day I was speaking with someone who claimed that inductive reasoning was superior to abductive reasoning, and even went as far as to say that inductive reasoning destroyed the need for abductive reasoning. By "abductive reasoning" I am talking about a cumulative case- taking lots of evidence and developing an interpretation that explains it all consistently.
