An inductive argument I recently made is “If I don’t drink a cup of black coffee in the morning, I likely get a headache later the day. And of course I have a headache today because I didn’t have a cup of coffee this morning.” My inductive argument contains the post hoc, propter hoc fallacy. Not having coffee and having a headache is just a coincident because headaches can be triggered by many lifestyle factors such as a lack of sleep and stress. I believe that because I drink coffee mostly every morning, not drinking coffee is easily mistaken as the cause of headache when I do not drink it.
