Induction can lead to statements but can also lead to statement contrapositives. Contrapositive statements are general, while statements are specific. Evidence for contrapositive statements cannot support statements. For example, "All ravens are black" has support from each raven observation. The statement is logically the same as its contrapositive, "All not black things are not ravens", which also has support from each raven observation {paradox of the ravens} {ravens paradox}.
