Definitions
Pushing your ability to read between the lines to its absolute limit — obsessively extracting meaning from every micro-signal, pause, word choice, and vibe until you've built a full mental model from almost nothing. Inference maxxing is admirable in detectives, dangerous in situationships, and hilarious in retrospect when you were completely wrong. It's the discipline of treating every interaction as a data set and refusing to accept that sometimes people just mean exactly what they say. The final boss of overthinking.
