I am pretty sure that inductive logic was the province of the Greeks and Euclid as much as deductive logic. Karl Popper and Hume thot that inductive logic was useless as it only served to disprove things and could not prove a theory. This, despite the time honoured technique of inductive proof in mathematics for series etc.. He came up with the theory that all generalities in science were from intuition, which could not be explained. I propose the bold concept of threes. If there are three instances of a theory being true, then it is true enough and any instances of it being not true are simply, inability to follow instructions or differing conditions or incompetent laboratory techniques.

A good reason for failure of a theory by testing is the failure to pay royalties to the inventor in order to acquire the enabling information that the statement of the theory obfuscated by design to obviate expensive legal bills that would be incurred by defense of the patent.

Now that gold has broken 617 dollars soundly, (and in doing so has brazenly whupped all the paper money mavens that used to haunt these threads), we should have an AuriK Klamor Kontest. This is one where we offer a genuine prize for most closely predicting an eventual price of gold.. ( suggested prizes -- a signed copy of Bill Clinton's memoirs .. I will sign it .. or a day old cheese sandwich from the kitchen of Lauren Hutton.. if necessary I will make it using her recipe.)...
