Inductive Strength
Captions available
The idea
An inductive argument is strong when true premises make the conclusion probable, weak when they don't. Strength comes in degrees.
In practice
10,000 black ravens: strong. Three black ravens: weak. Same form, different strength.
Where people slip
Unlike validity, strength is a dial, not a switch.
