Deductive reasoning is the kind of reasoning in which the conclusion is necessitated by, or reached from, previously known facts (the premises). If the premises are true, the conclusion must be true.

Yes I believe in it but it's not absolute, for example
Only 50 people entered the room
No-one has left the room
There must still be 50 people in the room
Correct
All quadrapeds have four legs
All dogs are quadrapeds
My pet has four legs therefore it must be a dog
Incorrect

not quite. you can have all true premises and a conclusion that doesn't follow from them. all true premises are necessary to logically guarantee the truth of the conclusion, but they don't on their own guarantee the truth of the conclusion.
ie. if the premises are all true, the conclusion MIGHT be true.

Premises or presumptions? Surely there has to be a logical coefficient somewhere in the equation?
Am I correct in assuming that you resort to cheap insults, when cornered by someone in possession of superior intellect and morality?...

Um, what are you trying to say. Deductive reasoning is not fact. It is an assumption.
