(9,509 posts)Deduction is mainly based on observations, not necessarily on previous knowledge. This is why a deduction often goes against previous knowledge and assumptions. You can find the folly of basing conclusions on previous knowledge addressed at length in various aspects of critical theory. You yourself present the case of previous knowledge being inadequate in reaching adequate conclusions, which, BTW, is an observation, and not a deduction as you claim. You have yet to demonstrate your mastery of deductive reasoning, and I am looking forward to it with great anticipation.
Now, apply your own reasoning to examine the options available to hamas. Given all the the available options, I was wondering how you would deduce anything other than what I deduced.. And if your deduction is different from from mine, I would love to hear the reasoning that went into it.
