Few More Reasoning Types

There are many more reasoning ahead, such as

# Criteria reasoning: comparing against established criteria.
# Decompositional reasoning: understand the parts to understand the whole.
# Deductive reasoning: starting from the general rule and moving to specifics.
# Inductive reasoning: starting from specifics and deriving a general rule.
# Modal logic: arguing about necessity and possibility.
# Traditional logic: assuming premises are correct.
# Pros-vs-cons reasoning: using arguments both for and against a case.
# Set-based reasoning: based on categories and membership relationships.
# Systemic reasoning: the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
# Syllogistic reasoning: drawing conclusions from premises.
