Inductive reasoning moves from the specific to the general. Beginning with the evidence of specific facts, observations, or experiences, it moves to a general conclusion. Inductive conclusions are considered either reliable or unreliable instead of true or false. An inductive conclusion indicates probability, the degree to which the conclusion is likely to be true. Inductive reasoning is based on a sampling of facts. An inductive concluson is held to be reliable or unreliable in relation to the quantity and the quality of the evidence supporting it. Induction leads to new truths and can support statements about the unknown on the basis of what is known." (Wilson, Forensic Procedures for Boundary and Title Investigation, p. 51.)
