Inductive reasoning is certainly valid in real-life examples. You want to know that if something
holds for the base case, it should hold for n and n+1 cases. I agree that its not really
necessary (because you know beyond a shadow of a doubt its correct without doing a proof), but
its something that one should know as a computer scientist and its definitely valid.
