Abstract
Hong and Yeo choose the intention criterion instead of the realization criterion for distinguishing deductive and inductive argument in their paper. This study aims to criticize their argument. I contend that their argument confuses argument reconstruction and argument classification[evaluation], and is making the mistake of utilizing the realization criterion when attempting to make up for the difficulties of the intention criterion. Also, most logicians, including Hong and Yeo, support the division of the argument into deductions, inductions, and bad arguments. Here I insist on a binary division of only deduction and induction. Finally, I argue that there is no need to teach the distinction between deduction and induction when teaching logic.
