It’s really tough.
I suspect that the 21st-century will continue to show better and more evidence for “mess” being the right cognitive container (or just garbage can à la James March). I don’t think induction will win but deduction will require more epicycles.
I don't think there is a correct answer here. Induction is great for short term and easily covering a wide range of subjects even if it only covers a tiny part of that subject. Deduction is great for long term progress, but only in narrow parts of the subject, but has a near universal application when found.
Use both?
