MAD FOR NOMADS: A LIST OF ALL HEURISTICS AND THEIR PRIORITY LISTS (2/N)

 To search for objectivity in a poem is a search in vain. The only method in madness is empirical observation and witnessing truth yourself. 

I will enlist here some important techniques and find in how many cases they could have been used and a priority list of these techniques. 

In general, one must follow one meta principle: 

Essence of Question > Knowledge/concept based > Deductive Reason > Inductive reason 

 Most of our MAD techniques come in the category of Inductive reason, that is why, most people remain confused which technique to apply in which question. And often they use inductive reason in places where deductions would have worked, or it was a pure knowledge based one. 

Out of these, we clearly see, 

a priority list of inductive reasons: (Of course deductions and essence come first but then out of Inductions, the following priority gives better outcomes) 

1. Linguistic hints (Can, may, Must, Necessary, legally binding, etc.)

2. Extra explanatory statements (...But not..., ...and..., ...but... etc.)

3. Examiner convenience logic 

4. GBW 

5. Consequential logic, complement statements, substitute statements

6. Generic, Positive themed statements, etc. 

7. Facts to be going wrong, comparison questions were exchange of facts

8.  Multi-facts correct, Many facts wrong

9. +ve/-ve logic

10. Range of Data correct Data wrong

11. organizations often wrong, acts often right, 2 orgs often wrong, etc. 

12. Out of 5, 3 correct; Out of 4, 2 correct and so on. 

This is a rough analysis. If I would have more time, I would have done it. I regret not doing it since January. But more or less. My work remains that I am going to apply it to 10 years paper to consolidate it at least in my mind. I think, you should too.
