Logically Speaking, Period 6, 2 Jun '09
Mohinder was standing at the front of the classroom by the time the workshop had assembled. Written on the board behind him was 'Theory -> Hypothesis -> Observation -> Confirmation'
"We're looking at deductive reasoning this week," he said, passing outnotes as he did so. "Where the conclusion of an argument is necessary - or has to follow from your initial conditions. Not that a valid argument has to be true - from 'All yellow objects float' and 'All taxis are yellow' the conclusion 'All taxis float' is valid, but not sound, because the starting premises aren't true."
"This form of logic is probably most popularly known from the tales ofmeta for Sherlock Holmes," continued Mohinder. He cued up the television, saying, "Such as this chain of reasoning about a man's hat," and this clip played.
The clip paused, Mohinder turned to the group. "Now it's your turn to construct a argument as to the events or people pictured in your handouts, and convince your classmates of it. I'll be here if there're any questions."
[OCD's up and the water's fine!]
