This reminds me of a comment in the
"Physics vs. Chemistry" episode of the BBC's "Infinite Monkey Cage":
"Chemistry is better than physics, because if something doesn't work you can't pretend that it does by sticking the word 'dark' in front of it."

Nick, you misunderstood me:
So-called "dark matter" is a very important example, in that until a deeper understanding of cosmological physics is developed, induction can provide little insight into the the referenced phenomenon.
Please take up "dark matter" in your discourse on "induction".
If, however, for some reason you find the topic of "dark matter" an unsatisfactory vehicle for this discussion, I have another waiting in the wings.
