Does the immodesty of an inductive method give you any good reason to trust Certainly not every immodest inductive method deserves your trust. Immodesty is a necessary but not sufficient condition of adequacy for inductive methods. Suppose finally that as you set out to pick an inductive method your total available evidence e is a complete description of a certain sample containing s things Having specified the class of inductive methods you wish to choose from, the 	./cache/work_krsazryp65cijfcvi4ew7xvrma.pdf	./txt/work_krsazryp65cijfcvi4ew7xvrma.txt
