14. Science / C. Induction / 3. Limits of Induction

15713	The first million numbers confirm that no number is greater than a million [Kaplan/Kaplan]
	Full Idea: The claim that no number is greater than a million is confirmed by the first million test cases.
	From: R Kaplan / E Kaplan (The Art of the Infinite [2003], 2 'Intro')
	A reaction: Extrapolate from this, and you can have as large a number of cases as you could possibly think of failing to do the inductive job. Love it! Induction isn't about accumulations of cases. It is about explanation, which is about essence. Yes!
