If the sharks themselves know, so far, they ain' t telling. All known specimens of Bigeye Ragged-Tooth Shark were collected by commercial fishing gear. This fact underscores the important contribution that fishermen can make in our knowledge of new and rare shark species. Fortunately for shark scientists, many commercial fishermen are fine and observant marine naturalists, possess an intimate knowledge of the seas where they fish, a keen eye for subtle differences in their catches, and a willingness to bring unusual specimens back to port and report them. Induction and deduction are basically opposite strategies of logical inference.
Scientists generally prefer deduction over induction, but one has to work with what data one has.
