This reminds me of an old scam about stock market predictions: week 1 you mail out stock predictions advertising your psychic investing service to 64 zip codes, half the zip codes say XYZ will go up, and half say down. Week 2: you forget about the 32 zip codes where you were wrong. For the remaining 32, 1/2 get a letter predicting up and vice versa. Repeat till you have like 6 correct predictions for 1 zip code, then ask for them to subscribe or send you cash or whatever.
I wonder how an inductivist would respond to something like this, actually. If they’ve never observed the scam before, on what basis should they refuse? (I feel like this kind of case should be obvious enough that some inductivist has addressed it)
