Merely observing doesnt solve everything.
What about the rainbow you see after the rain has stopped?
How many times have people observed the sun without knowing it is a fusion reactor?
Which is to say that is a lot more complex than “just look” and also more complex than “come up with a predictive theory”. Indeed, no-one has method for obtaining correspondence to reality that works in all cases..
I wasn’t talking about induction specifically.

Indeed, the scientific history of how observation and experiment led to a correct understanding of the phenomenon of rainbows is long and fascinating.
