Logic
In laymen's terms, logic is the process by which one arrives at a conclusion given certain facts or observations. Used in Philosophy and Mathematics, logic tends to rely on given facts and hopefully result in accurate conclusions. However, in life, very little is absolute. Inferences must be made based on observation and experience. Conclusions tend to be judged as successful/unsuccessful rather than as accurate. Successful conclusions are achieved through the accurate interpretation of these inferences.
I have a background in both disciplines. I have a Master's Degree in Management Information Systems and am a former member of MENSA. Both required the mastery of absolutes. However, I have also made my living as a poker player in Las Vegas. That required the successful interpretation of probabilities, tendancies, and subtle nuances that revealed the hidden.
