The more general lesson is that it's a mistake to think you must answer the skeptic on his own terms. (It usually seems to be a he.)
Okay, thanks, I suppose I was coming at this from a different perspective: personally I take Hume's criticism of induction somewhat seriously and Carroll's criticism of deduction not so seriously. It seemed to me in the paragraph I quoted that you were treating them equally, as though deduction should be considered as suspect as induction.
I've learned to live with the dark cloud of Humean skepticism hanging over my head, but criticisms of deduction strike me as assaults on sanity itself. :)
