Predictive arguments make a case for anticipating events based on the characteristics of a category. Once you have identified an animal as a squirrel then you can anticipate what it will do based on the general knowledge of the classification, "squirrel." The conclusion: 'If you keep feeding the squirrel it will do damage to your home' requires an argument of the form: Example 1: Squirrels are small furry animals that live in and about your property and can nest in your home by feeding it food and can do damage to the wiring in the walls of your home. Example 2: There is a squirrel in the wall of the house.Therefore : That squirrel that is in the wall will damage the wiring.
