: : Piper: Induction is (at best) rational. I.e. it is rational to believe in something concluded from a strong inductive inference. Similary it is irrational not to believe something derived from a strong inductive inference. It is not however alogical not to believe something derived from an inductive conclusion (as the conclusion is not necessary).

: This is only the case if you believe in synthetic a priori.

- of course, I meant analytic, not synthetic

That's what happens when you stay up too late.
