I don't agree. The derivation of new clauses by Resolution is well understood as deductive and the choice of what clauses to keep doesn't change that.

Resolution can be used inductively, and also for abduction, but that's going into the weeds a bit- it's the subject of my PhD thesis. Let me know if you're in the mood for a proper diatribe :)

I'd love a diatribe if you're still following this post.

As would I.

You know, this seems like yet another reason to allow HN users to direct message each other, or at least receive reply notifications. Dang, why can't we have nice things?

Oh, hi guys. Sorry just saw this.

Oh gosh I gotta do some work today, so no time to write what I wanted. Maybe watch this space? I'll try to make some time later today.
