The disanalogy with deductive inference is fatal: deductive rules are truth-preserving by definition, whereas inductive rules are ampliative and their reliability is precisely what stands in question.

Deductive inference(contrasted with inductive reasoning): A way of reasoning where if your starting statements are true, the conclusion *must* be true—like saying 'all dogs are animals, Fido is a dog, therefore Fido is an animal.'
Inductive rules(contrasted with deductive reasoning): A way of reasoning where you gather specific examples and draw a general conclusion—like observing many white swans and concluding 'all swans are white,' which could still turn out wrong.
ampliative(Used to characterize abduction and explain why ABD1 cannot be logically sound): A property of inference rules whereby the conclusion goes beyond what is strictly contained in the premises, such that the rule cannot be deductively sound
disanalogy(in logic and argumentation): A way that two things are NOT similar or don't match up in the way someone claimed they did; pointing out where a comparison breaks down.
