[edit] comment
According to the link below (http://www.cuyamaca.net/bruce.thompson/Fallacies/retroduction.asp) retroduction is (or at least has been used as) equivalent to Abductive_reasoning:
" Peirce himself originally referred to this type of reasoning as "hypothesis." He later coined the term "abduction," and used this term during the 1880s. By 1896 he had abandoned this term in favor of "retroduction," which he used for the remainder of his life. "
Should the entries to these terms be updated to indicate this equivalence?
