Keynes, edits to 'inductive reasoning' and 'grue'[edit]

I have recently made a few edits to inductive reasoning and reflected them here, mainly by including a reference to Keynes. It seems to me that these are relevant to the 'grue' problem but do not have a source for this.

My thinking is that one makes induction based on 'experience' so one would be led by induction to expect a continuation of experiencing emeralds as grue, rather than being committed to calling them grue. Doesn't this shift this 'problem of induction' to one of denotation?--Djmarsay (talk) 17:28, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
