Tom, I’m well aware that the point above is not original, but I don’t think I can be accused of reinventing the wheel, just re-explaining it. The post above looks pretty literature-informed to me—it says “logically valid” rather than “logically true” and talks about impossible possible worlds. I didn’t use the phrase “problem of induction”, but then I didn’t exactly set out to signal academic in-ness because that would get in the way of explaining. This blog is directed at a wider audience at least half the time, according to its policy. I’m not sure how else you think this post should have been written.
