You must be a philosopher, no? I could be wrong, as I base this on induction only. Which Hume said was all there was. But at which conclusion he didn't arrive by induction. So his fork-in-the-road bifurcation of possibilities into inductive and valid, or non-inductive and for the fires of sophistry and illusion, was untenable by his own lights. So he shot himself in the foot with his own fork.
