What more proof do you want, exactly? Scientific reasoning requires the assumption that deduction is reliable. This assumption is axiomatic. If you disagree with any of this, then I'd appreciate if you explained to me why, because I honestly don't understand you anymore. Are you saying that reliance on deduction is *not* a scientific axiom, or that this axiom is simply not philosophical? Or both?
