You can’t just extrapolate out to infinity from a small number of samples near to the origin!
Some people can. It’s called proof by induction.

This is not how proof by induction works.
If you think the proof is flawed, find a counterexample.
A real, independently-verifiable counterexample, not just a nebulous spot on the number line where a counterexample might exist.
The proof by induction is correct. “Extrapolating from a small number of samples”, however, is not proof by induction.
A fallible process. Pain might seem proportional to number of lashes at first—but keep going for a while, and you will see that they have a non-linear relationship.
