Interesting but extremely unpersuasive.
I agreed with everything up until this point:
This seems to be wordgames. Saying this is a deductive inference misses the whole point that this an inference which can only be used after B has been observed. Otherwise it is just math.
The next paragraph seems to be similarly flawed.
Here I may just be missing the point but I don't see how logical consequences of A are relevant to the issue of whether induction is occurring.
I have to wonder if some strange notion of induction is occurring where intuitions are simply not shared. I wonder, what would happen if we tabooed induction?
