Yeah, this, mainly.
I mean, I see what you're saying, at least in part of it, I really do. It's something in the anti-induction vein, sort of a "we can't say with certainty that anything that has been true in 100% of cases up to this point is a 'law'" (you say "fact") "as opposed to an historical contingency." That's... Hume said stuff like that, right? Or Bacon?
But, 1) the message was conveyed inartfully (if English is not your first language, I understand, but try to break it into manageable chunks);
2) no one's going to take you seriously when your first post is a big wall of assertions (like you're trying to come in here and enlighten us); and
3) seriously, don't go the anti-induction route. Just... say... no. That way lies madness dragons solipsism.
