But the decrease in probability of A v ~B is not "purely deductive" because ~(A v ~B) is not a logical consequence of B. So the net change in the probability of A is not entirely deductive.
EDIT: This attacks the argument on its own terms, but in fact I think the argument given does not define induction well enough to say anything about it.
