Post the method of induction, step by step, in sufficient detail that a reasonable person could do it without having to ask any questions.

When you fail -- in particular by having large unspecified parts -- it will be because you are wrong about the issue in question.

When you respond to this failure by making ad hoc additions that still don't provide followable instructions, then I will stop talking to you.

OK, go ahead.

Please reread my statement. The issue I was arguing with is not whether or not induction is justified. It was whether or not people are using it.
