Key ideas in Thinking Between the Lines
- Facts are based on direct observation
- Inferences use 'maybe' language to bridge gaps in data
- Facts are verifiable and objective
- Inferences are tentative explanations for observed facts
- Interpretations of behavior are not facts
- Identifying facts as observable data points everyone can agree on
- Recognizing inferences as tentative 'maybe' bridges
- Conclusions are firm decisions or final judgments
- Conclusions signal the end of the thinking process and the start of action
- Inferences are low-certainty 'maybes'
- Conclusions are high-certainty 'definites'
- Facts are the highest certainty because they are observable
- Identifying conclusions as 'definitely' statements that drive action
- Distinguishing levels of certainty between inferences and conclusions
- Labeling a thought as an inference creates mental space for other possibilities
- Inferences keep the brain in a state of curiosity
