How does an indirect proof lead to the desired conclusion?

With an indirect proof, you temporarily assume that the opposite of what you're trying to prove is true. For example, let's say I'm trying to prove that the sky is blue. With an indirect proof, I would first say: "Assume temporarily that sky is not blue..." and go from there. Eventually, I will reach a contradiction and with this contradiction I can assume that this route of thinking is false, therefore my proof must be true.

What is an indirect fire attack?

Weapons that require other observers to control fires onto a target are indirect fire weapons; artillery (includes mortars), rockets, naval gunfire, etc. Target acquisition is not accomplished by the weapons crew, but rather an observer locates the target and request fires. Another entity calculates the proper elevation and lateral deflection from a standard aiming point and appropriate propellant mix to allow the weapon to reach the desired target. An indirect fire attack is an engagement by an indirect fire weapon system. Weapons systems that engage targets that are visible from that weapon are direct fire weapons: Machine guns, recoil-less rifles, tanks (for the most part), etc. The crew of the weapon systems acquires the target and delivers fire accordingly. Tanks are technically capable of indirect fire although rarely used that way. The rounds are not designed for that role and the use of tank ammunition for indirect fire is inefficient.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of an indirect oral interview?

Indirect questioning may make a person feel more at ease with the question if it is of a sensitive nature. Indirect questions can also be used to coerse a person to provide an answer to a question that has not really been asked. The question, "I wouldn't say that car is blue, would you?" is an indirect question because it may prompt the person to give the asker their opinion rather than to answer the question correctly with a simple "yes" or "no" answer. They may answer, "No, I would say it's more of a green than a blue." This was not the question asked but it produced the desired information.
