As noted previously, an argument can be either inductive or deductive. Inductive arguments are likely, whereas sound deductive arguments are certain. These forms of reasoning are best thought of as representing different points of certainty along the same continuum. 3 Induction has a place in logical argumentation, but its place within the process of deriving profile characteristics is questionable beyond a certain point. In other words, a statistical probability is not a conclusion and should never be offered up as one.
