The induction rule is the method used to prove that a statement P(n) is true for every natural number, by showing that P(0) is true, and that if P(n) is true, the P(n+1) must be true. Your claim is just the opposite of induction. All this shows is that you really don't understand what you are talking about. Perhaps it is a language issue, you just don't understand the language of actual Mathematics, but are trying to understand it form guesses an intuition to avoid the dangers of formal "Mathologies"
