Post.inference, we only assert claims about

Perhaps that doesn't seem modest,

So, I'd say your definition of "correct", isn't,

Consider for example the mathematical limit,
when, and if, all the terms are related there's
only one rule need follow, and an arbitrary
competing rule, shares no terms, so is altogether
not relevant, we can say that the limit exists
and we can get close enough to establish
vanishing differences.

Yet, the "infinite limit" is already stronger,
close enough isn't good enough, when competing
conditions would otherwise result its nullity,
in effect.

Then, the "continuum limit" is an idea of
even a strong sort of setting, and about
strong enough for purpose of a continuous
milieu altogether, all relevant, all book-kept,
like the natural/unit equivalency function,
or most any other continuum limit you might
come across in all sorts of mathematical
treatments of probability and physics.

Since we've all learned about Russell's antinomy,
one can consider that in the outlook of:
Says nothing, says nothing, says nothing, says nothing, ...
is nothing, yet in the comprehension of
{infinitely-many terms}
there results a: something.
The difference between projection and perspective,
or perspective and projection, or projective and
perspection, perspection and projective, becomes
a object/subject distinction, and contradistinction,
and juxtaposition, making for a fuller dialectic.
We're not the most naive logicians in what one
may hope would be a sufficient modesty, of what
is covered and uncovered, by our ignorance: lack thereof.
This uncovering or the knackbaut, turning over
the field, the a-letheia, disclosing, or otherwise
these usual terms about the limits of knowledge,
can help a lot to establish that the inductive inference
is absurd, unless it's infinite.
So, of course this is widely explored since antiquity,
even moreso why today that the giants who already
trod on each other, left room for any of us to stand
in any their place.
The idea that ZF "provides" an inductive set, is
a great simplification, that there's at least one
case where it's justified, in the comprehension
of a regular, rulial, ordinary comprehension.
Yet, in the fuller dialectic, the more "correct"
of what's the fundamental concern of the
foundations, is the fundamental question of
metaphysics, the dialectic between nothing
and something.
One does not simply break lines into points,
nor push points into lines, yet deductive inference
does have division of a whole into parts, and,
the invertability, one does not simply break lines
into points and push points into lines without both.
Then these variegated universal quantifiers are
a just sort of trivial annotation, affecting to reflect
what it is, what they are, what it is.
