Best Answer: Faulty reasoning is when a person assumes something is fact based on other facts. That is faulty reasoning. Whenever the deduction is based on half-truths, invalid theories, etc...that leads to faulty reasoning. Hope that makes sense, been a few years since I took Philosophy.
Whereas inductive reasoning draws general principles from specific instances, deductive reasoning draws specific conclusions from general principles or premises. A premise is a previous statement or proposition from which another is inferred or follows as a conclusion. Unlike inductive reasoning, which always involves uncertainty, the conclusions from deductive inference are certain provided the premises are true. Scientists use inductive reasoning to formulate hypothesis and theories, and deductive reasoning when applying them to specific situations.
