Cathy Legg's "Missing The Bus" Example

Here is another remarkably instructive example that can be tackled
moderately well by blocking it out as a "zeroth order theory (ZOT):

| I'm waiting for my morning bus and it doesn't arrive:  Surprise.
| I then think -- in the past sometimes my bus hasn't arrived when
| it's a public holiday I've forgotten about:  This case should be
| the same (induction), I then form the hypothesis that it is
| a public holiday (abduction).
