Feb10 Summary (TFY C4, Inferences)

This chapter explains how inferences take place in our minds, how they relate to facts, and how far wrong we can go when we mistake inferences for facts.

Infer means to take what you know and make a guess. When we infer, we use imagination or reasoning to provide explanations for situations in which all the facts are either not available or not yet determined. For example, If you get fired from your job, you can infer, maybe you did something wrong. It can be used as a strategy in planning and choosing alternatives. It detects and consultants all kind of valued for their ability to examine facts, imagination, reasoning to link with explanation and generalization ties to all information together into meaningful whole.

Responsible report writing or descriptive writing lets the facts speak for themselves as much as possible. Inference thinking is natural to humans, if someone walks up to us with a gun in there are hand we are going to assume they mean us harm. Inference is a way of gathering information, due to other things that may give to the ultimate finding. It is important to remember that inference is not factual. Just because one may infer something is going to happen, it may not happen at all, the exact opposite might happen.
