Reference:
The best discussion of the distinction between the three kinds of reasoning I outlined here comes from "How We Reason" by Philip Johnson-Laird - cognitive scientist extraordinaire. Chapter 13 is on Sherlock and abductions. It's his model that I'm describing.
The clips are from the BBC series "Sherlock," starring Benedict Cumberbatch. Used here for educational purposes.
