Post by Philosophy Now »

In our second contribution on the problem of induction, John Shand argues that there is no problem, because there is no such thing as an inductive argument.

That is entirely correct, if the author actually based it on what Aristotle wrote, induction is from perception, i.e., that part of perception we grammatically encode.

It is not a form of argument, it is a process of data acquisition.
