There is no better guide through darkness then your own balance

Both sentences could be put in several boxes like "observation", "insult", "annoyance" etc. but not "inference".

1: Loud is not defined, and therefore this is an incorrect or correct observation. The fire alarm is loud is therefore an interference.

2: Two interferences since "always smells like garlic" is a subjective conclusion and so is "favorite food"

Always a observation, but could be an interference if it interferes with your thoughts!

Gods scientific method.

1/God changes his mind about Ninevah.We need to be able to change our minds with the evidence.

2/God chooses between Jacob and Easu we need to choose between competing theories.

3/God recognises that BABLE is information overload like the net.We need to filter out the information we understand.
