    2. That's incorrect. "Induct" cannot mean "induce in". "Induction" is the noun form of the verb "induce", but it has no verb form called "induct".

      "james veitch is inducting the same suspension of disbelie"

      It makes more sense to say, "James veitch is inducing the same..."

    4. the meaning of "induct" and "induce" at a semantic level and not a syntaxical level is different

      "induct" connotes forcible conscription into some sort of club in a way that "induce" doesn't
