Why do you see it as primarily deductive? I ask since the mature form of the pragmatic maxim is to consider all the possible consequences (meaning practical differences we can detect). That seems inherently an abductive consideration although the actual measurement would be a combination of deductive and inductive against a perhaps more abductive theoretical scaffolding. But any particular detection that something is hard is different from the meaning of say a diamond being hard.
