You do realize that the FBI profiler methodology only works because of the body of information gathered from previous cases, right? They compare the behavioral similarities of all the different cases they've dealth with to reach a probable conclusion.

But you have no such body of knowledge to draw from. You don't have thousands of other universes with which to compare this one in order for you to be able to work to a conclusion backwards.

I would say that this is a case of using the wrong tool for the job, but I think this is more of a case of trying to mask the odor of ignorance by fallaciously attempting to justify faulty methodology with something you caught on the boob-tube.
it's abductive reasoning, it seeks to provide the most plausible broad, explanatory hypothesis but doesn't try to predict the future like inductive reasoning. for detectives - they gather evidence and develop a theory. what's your theory?
Atheist Credo: A universe by chance that also just happened to admit the observer by chance.
