A total aside here, but this Humean view of science isn't really accurate, though often repeated. It isnt that something happens 1000x. It's that we arrive at a causal explanation of how something happens and then this explanation is confirmed across 1000 instances, so on the basis of this causal explanation being accurate enough, it is reasonable to predict the 1001. The difference is that in the Humean "1000x therefore 1001" case there is no reason to suppose 1001. If the world were really just these sequences it would be inexplicable. Rather, the world has a causal structure and it this that we better understand by making inferences. cf. induction vs. abduction
