No, that's a strawman argument. "Deductive reasoning" becomes original
research when it is used to build a case against a position presented in
an article, not when used to do unit conversions.
Deductive reason is the application of logic to the facts as already
presented. The uncle/nephew vs. aunt/niece is simply a nonsense comment
pulled out of imagination.
Ray - Jay is correct in his description of original research. His
point is simply that deduction (that is, drawing a conclusion from a
set of premises) should not be used by editors to make a point not
already made in a credible publication.
