The book’s notes introduce complete induction, in which every relevant particular of the universal class is covered.
If a school has exactly four classrooms and each one is checked and found to have a fan, we may conclude that every classroom in that school has a fan.
The certainty comes from the completeness of the enumeration: there is no unexamined fifth classroom within the defined class.

Induction: Complete and Incomplete Enumeration, Certainty and Probability
The book’s notes introduce complete induction, in which every relevant particular of the universal class is covered.
If a school has exactly four classrooms and each one is checked and found to have a fan, we may conclude that every classroom in that school has a fan.
The certainty comes from the completeness of the enumeration: there is no unexamined fifth classroom within the defined class.
