Its Harry Potter time at home and my daughter is parallelly watching the movie and reading the book, literally living that life. Obviously discussions are mostly based on the same.
Suddenly she said, "Ma, death cannot actually be a person. Its a process you see." (Those who are familiar with the 3 deathly hallows story will know that death is personified in this story)
And that is what we call a good Inference!. Inference rules are extremely important in Language Processing, Scientific Discoveries, Artificial Intelligence and many more.
Inferences are based on evidence you can see or collect. - In this case Death is not a person because it has no form, it does not have a life cycle of its own and its a one time event in one's life.
