Could be much worse than that. I’m sure babies don’t start with a Bayesian prior which assigns some probability to induction working, but nor do they start with object permanence. That may be a conclusion.
Mm, that doesn’t rule out a hardwired conclusion (a question which might be hard to formalize) which always occurs given the development of the brain. In principle, I suppose, we could isolate babies and show them a lot of videos or holograms inconsistent with object permanence.

I think object permanence as a conclusion is demonstrable—babies learn that, first google check says at 8 months.
On a prior on induction, neurons are be doing something to develop. I wonder if some of that something somewhere looks like induction. I’d guess so.
