Listen "E79 - Inference Vs. Assumptions "
Episode Synopsis
Assumptions and inferences are related concepts but have distinct differences. Here's a breakdown of their differences:Assumptions:1. Definition: Assumptions are beliefs or statements that are taken for granted or accepted as true without concrete evidence or proof.2. Basis: Assumptions are often based on personal beliefs, prior experiences, cultural norms, or generalizations.3. Lack of evidence: Assumptions are made without sufficient evidence or data to support them.4. Subjective: Assumptions can be subjective and vary from person to person, as they are influenced by individual perspectives, biases, and preconceived notions.5. Role: Assumptions serve as starting points or premises upon which further reasoning or decision-making is based. They can guide our thinking but are not necessarily proven or verified.Inferences:1. Definition: Inferences involve drawing conclusions or making predictions based on available evidence, reasoning, or logical deductions.2. Basis: Inferences are based on observable facts, data, observations, or information that is directly or indirectly provided.3. Evidence-based: Inferences are made using logical reasoning and supported by evidence or a logical connection between premises and conclusions.4. Objective: While some subjectivity can be involved in interpreting evidence, inferences strive to be objective and follow logical principles.5. Role: Inferences are used to go beyond the explicit information and make educated guesses or interpretations. They help bridge gaps in knowledge or fill in missing details based on logical reasoning.In summary, assumptions are subjective beliefs or statements made without strong evidence, while inferences are logical conclusions drawn from available evidence or information. Assumptions can influence the process of making inferences, as they may provide starting points or underlying beliefs. However, inferences are more evidence-based and objective, relying on logical reasoning and observable facts.
