Me too, I'm beginning to doubt the relevance of the deduction vs. induction split.
We know we have different principles to begin with. When we apply these we get
slightly different opinions about what is deduction and what is induction. It seems
to me that the deduction/induction split is as contextual as everything else.

What suggestion would that be?
I think we have communication problem here. I write words from my multi-
dimensional view of the MoQ and you read them through your one-dimensional
view, and vice versa. Often, this is not a problem but sometimes all that
gets through is a mu.

Let us know if you find something.
