If my kid goes into the kitchen, and I go in a little while later and see the cookies are gone, i'm going to believe they ate them. Am I 100% convinced of it? No. Maybe i just didn't realize they had been eaten earlier, or maybe someone snuck in the back and ate them. But I'm relatively convinced they ate the.
I'm sure there are very few people, at most, that are convince 100% that Boeing did it. But it's very presumptuous to assume that all of the people in this thread claiming Boeing did it are just joking. Seems more reasonable to take their statements at face value and understand that they do think Boeing did it, or at least someone related to boeing did it.
But I'm not sure what this has to do with what was suggested by your initial post.
Ps deductive reasoning doesn’t mean “I know it for a fact”
By definition deductive reason is using logic to come to a specific conclusion, so it absolutely does mean it's a fact.
Deductive reasoning means using evidence so no you're flat wrong. Also, ever heard of a "knee jerk reaction"? Hint, that also isn't a term that means you're sure of anything
You're confusing deductive reasoning with inductive reasoning. But I wouldn't even call it inductive reasoning, as it's really just an empty hypothesis where people are putting what they want to be the truth into the holes of our knowledge...or hell even outright rejecting evidence, like qanons do.
And, again, Ive already agreed that they don't 100% believe it. But arguing that they don't think Boeing had this person killed is just ignoring what they said and assuming what you want.
This conversation started with some people cheekily blaming Boeing (a fair first reaction). Then some dude chided everyone for being like qanon, I said that was a deep over exaggeration, now here I am getting a lesson in pedantry. What even are conversations like this?
I read the thread one way and a couple others didn't. End of story.
"oh, sorry. I was mistaken about what deductive reasoning means, and I can see why what I said did not convey what I actually think. Thanks for the correction.'
What didn't you understand about me and my therapist having more important things to discuss than you being wrong and refusing to admit it?
Oh, wait, I see what this is. It's a projection. Your inability to admit you are wrong is something you realize you need to work through, which is why you are claiming that I have issues I need to work through.
You see you just admitted you got issues beyond "me being wrong". I used your words against you to say I agree. Surely a pedant could appreciate the weaponization of an opponent's words to use against them
Oh I see, people mean what they say when it confirms what you want to be true, but when it puts you in a tricky spot... Well, then, man you have to be really stupid to think they actually mean it.
