VII On Rightness of Rendering -- 4. Veracity and Validity

Still, inductive rightness is not fully characterized as inductive validity plus use of all examined instances. If all examined instances have been examined before 1977, the argument that all instances whatever will be examined before 1977 is still inductively wrong; and even if all examined emeralds have been grue, still inductive argument to the hypothesis that all emeralds are grue is wrong. Inductive rightness requires evidence statements and the hypothesis to be in terms of 'genuine' or 'natural' kinds ― or in my terminology, to be in terms of projectible predicates like "green" and "blue" rather than in terms of non-projectible predicates like "grue" and "bleen". Without such a restriction, right inductive arguments could always be found to yield countless conflicting conclusions: that all emeralds are green, are grue, are gred, etc.
