Yes everything is inductive at some level. But in this case one requires a lot more of it then another. Also, it will be a lot easier to spot a flaw in the gathering or interpretating of NASA's data. In fact if no valid error is found in Dr Spencer's research I would think it might be prudent to rethink how the historical data is interpreted.
