      I think we might be talking about different things.

      Yes, what you were doing there is deduction.

      Yes, I suppose I was in that example but tennis balls & wine bottles consistently not fitting? I think we agree re: the above.

      And it could hold because this hypothesis was too vague to be useful. We can imagine make a very large wine bottle.

      We could change the criteria, yes. OK, I'm not even sure what we're disagreeing on any more.

      Ok, here is the thing. In humanities ‘induction’ is used to justify general claims. That is as harmful as postmodernist philosophers.

      Its also inconsistent and ideologically loaded. Statistics on gender & violent crime justify demonising men but stats on Islam & illiberal..

      ...values is something only brought up by racists. The two uses of the poisoned candy analogy shows this inconsistency.

      But we can, and in fact must, make working assumptions to function & know anything. Must just acknowledge that's what they are.

          That is exactly what makes it different from induction.

          I think this might be a semantic difference & am prepared to concede that you are being more precise in your use of the word

          Absolutely, everything starts with a creative idea. And combined with criticism and falsification we make progress.
