I agree that the quote seems to back up the claim, but I don't agree with the claim. Like all frequentist procedures, NHST does have a detailed theory of induction founded on the notion that one can use just the (model's) sampling probability of a realized event to generate well-warranted claims about some hypothesis/hypotheses. (Again, see the work of Deborah Mayo.)
