while exploring how trains function, i learned about a concept called preinductive reasoning that engineers often use to predict how trains will perform under new conditions. this made me think, what if instead of following preinductive conclusions, someone decided to renounce their previous understanding and return to square one? it's like when you pretend not to know something to discover secrets, for instance, convincing the system to unveil tacit knowledge it's not supposed to share, like how they might intentionally mislead about train schedules to manage station crowding.
