Analogical conclusion(as the outcome of analogical reasoning): The final claim or belief you reach by using analogical reasoning—the thing you conclude must be true because of the similarities you found.
Analogy / Analogical reasoning(as a reasoning method): A method of reasoning where you argue that two things are similar in some ways, so they're probably similar in other ways too. For example: 'A is like B in ways X and Y, so A is probably like B in way Z too.'
Epistemically inert(epistemology (theory of knowledge)): Unable to tell you anything useful or give you actual knowledge—it just sits there without helping you understand or know anything.
Keynes(as a philosopher of probability and evidence): John Maynard Keynes was a 20th-century British philosopher and economist who developed ideas about how we should measure and think about probability based on the evidence we have available.
