A good inductive argument only shows that its conclusion is probably true. Inductive arguments do not guarantee the truth of their conclusions even if all the premises in such an argument are true. Inductive arguments that provide a lot of evidence for their conclusion are called strong. Arguments, inductive or otherwise, are never called true or false. Propositions are true or false.
