[1]spaghetti13"Every deductive process begins with just throwing
  things out there and see which variables stick." My friend Seedy
  Johnson said that a few minutes ago.* I like perfect sets of
  words that describe something well.* This is the part of
  deductive reasoning nobody ever talks about - the part where you
  toss the spaghetti to see if it sticks to the wall. It's a great
  metaphor. I like the "see what variables stick" analogy a lot.
  Spaghetti is a good analogy for a lot of reasoning processes,
  because they're sticky, they tangle together and can be very
  messy - at first. If you throw the spaghetti too high
  (over-reach your hypothesis) - it'll fall on your head if it's
  wrong, no matter how pretty the pattern on the ceiling. But if
  it's right, it's a beautiful thing, the spaghetti is done and
  you can eat it.
