Well, it doesn’t establish that induction is always valid, so I guess we might not really be disagreeing. But, pragmatically, everyone basically has to assume that it usually works, or is likely to work in whatever the particular case is. I think it’s a good enough heuristic to be called a rational principle that people already have down.
