Sherlock Holmes was a fictional detective created by the British author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Holmes was renowned for his reasoning talents, in particular his ability to "deduce" the causes and perpetrators of spectacularly heinous crimes. For this Discussion Board Forum, I'd like you to view this video (see above -- ignore the Greek subtitles) and then read "The Adventure of the Speckled Band." (It's available in LM2: Sherlock Holmes -- The Speckled Band.pdf.)


Then tell us what you think of Holmes' logic:


Is it convincing as a method of reasoning? Include an example from both the video and the short story.Is it really deduction, or are there inductive elements as well? What's the difference between the two?Can you think of other disciplines, other than criminal forensics, where Holmesian logic could be applied?Do you ever reason like Holmes? Give us an everyday example of how you might reason like Sherlock.
