The problem of induction since Hume has been a massive ideological misdirection against the possibility of knowledge. Hume's observations were shocking, precisely because they undermined the most foundational of our assumptions and they have never been satisfactorily countered since; the use here of "ideological" and "misdirection" then seems rather unfair to Hume (though I acknowledge your use of "since") - he flagged our own misdirection in the most un-ideological way imaginable.
