The more powerful type of reasoning as we now know is analogical reasoning. It’s using the case law to make comparisons. Think of it as being like this little box. Something goes in, facts go in, something comes out. So the difference between pure debate and ego reasoning is that we are actually using case precedent. This is the way it was resolved in the past, that’s the way it’s going to come out here. Based on the precedent, we are able to determine what the outcome will be as a matter of law
