	'''Inductive Reasoning''' can be thought of as the inverse of deductive reasoning, starting from a specific point to progressively reach broader conclusions. This involves collecting evidence, which is then followed by developing hypotheses and integrating any new information you find into the hypothesis afterwards. Once you've done all of that, you test the hypothesis to see if everything you've found holds up.<ref>https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/inductive-reasoning</ref> If it doesn't, you go back to square one.

	Sometimes, when it is difficult to debunk an argument, instead of trying to strengthen their own arguments or improving their understanding on a given subject, one may try to present opposing views to their audience in a much weaker form.
