[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.
