	 The	second	is	deduction. 														 Now,	before	some	of	you	vocabulary	nuts	start	criticizing	me,	I	am aware	that	the	word	for	the	process	which	I	am	about	to	elucidate	throughout	the course	of	this	book	is	not	in	truth	entitled	deduction,	but	rather	 induction. 	Where deduction	is	a	process	of	reasoning	that	begins	with	a	known	truth	that	is	then applied	to	a	specific	case,	induction	is	using	observations	and	evidence	to	infer	a specific	conclusion. 	However,	despite	the	discrepancy	in	vocabulary,	I	will continue	to	refer	to	the	methods	of	induction	that	we	will	be	discussing throughout	this	book	as	“deduction”,	since	the	term	is	so	commonly	tied	to Sherlock	Holmes	and	has	become	so	closely	associated	with	his	way	of	thinking. But	when	you	become	a	master	of	deduction,	you	should	be	cognizant	of	the	true meanings	of	the	words	which	are	linked	to	your	skills. 	One	should	always	be able	to	speak	eloquently	and	intelligently	about	one's	masteries.
