I think the silences we have on some issues are inductive of the fact that we need to write about them more, but I think there are some issues you have to write in a sensitive way and in a way that respects the reality of the situation. If you can't do that, you should leave them alone.

Scottish Novelist

Barry Hannah

I distrust thought. The interior life is highly overrated. I don't like the wispy and the vague... or inductive logic in any kind of writing. I'm impatient with writers who make too much sense. The better things that I've done have come to me by instinct.

American Novelist

William John Wills

Unreliable Conclusions

Starting Point

When learning technical subjects, 'inductive' often relates to electricity or electronics.
