54. I've never liked the rain analogy.

I think it goes, if you walk out in the morning and see water on the ground, you assume it's because it rained last night.

Inductive research begins with a premise, and then pulls studies to support that position. That is probably a better way of explaining the difference I'm trying to point out. You begin with the wrong premise and all your data is going to be equally flawed. Garbage in, garbage out.
