^Yes you are right. Induction is used by us every second, multiple times. Coming up with a 3d representation of the world based on the 2d image on our retinas is an inductive problem that we solve all the time. Or choosing words to represent the concepts in our head, etc. etc.

But this thread is not going in the direction I want.

I'm trying to show that inductive arguments are a subset of deductive arguments. They're just informal, since the premises aren't all listed.

Someone please, hear me?

There is no such thing as coming up with new information. All you can do is come up with new ways to say the information you already have.

Man, I've repeated myself like 5 times already.
