Hello. Good start for an explanation. It begins with a guess or hint. Not
valid deductively in either categorial or propositional logics. I believe it is
not even probabalistic in traditional logic since percentages are deduced from
like percentages in the premises.

Subject: [PEIRCE-L] Is CP 5.189 a syllogism?
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to figure something out. I've convinced myself but am not
completely sure, so would like to work this out with the community.
I haven't read Aristotle. Are there steadfast rules to syllogism one must
never ever break or is there an essence? What is the intention of syllogism?
Would you say the following is a syllogism? Why or why not?
The surprising fact, C, is observed.
But if A were true, C would be a matter of course.
Hence, there is reason to suspect that A is true.
Thanks for any input,
Jerry Rhee
