Inductive reasoning is basically what one can conclude from the various pieces of evidence given, into one particular. For example:
Metal A expands when heated Metal B expands when heated Therefore all metals expand when heated
Makes sense, right? That's what you think. Now for this to be reliable, the original source has to be correct. It is hard, or nearly impossible, to define the original source of the original information. As this case:
Joe likes fish Joe likes Jessica Therefore Jessica is a fish
Manipulating reasoning can twist people's minds. In this case all the facts are correct, so why can't the conclusion be correct?
