Hey! Remember those toots from yesterday of mine? I've got a name now for the phenomenon I've been picking at:

Weak Induction

I'm probably not using it correctly in this explanation, but this is when you're looking at something (say an online post) and, because you have a brain which is constantly looking for patterns and motives, you induce things about what the author means.

But watch out for weak inductions! If what you assert isn't plainly there in the post, you might be on about nothing!
