Why did Charles Sanders Peirce believe logicians should understand many different sciences?

Charles Sanders Peirce believed that a logician should possess an insider’s acquaintance with the methods and reasonings of all the sciences because his primary focus was the "logic of science"—specifically the study of induction and abduction.1

By diversifying his own scientific research across various fields, Peirce sought to establish abduction and induction as fundamental components of logic, alongside deduction. He viewed this broad scientific engagement as essential for the sake of logic itself, allowing him to better understand and formalize how hypotheses are formed and accepted to explain surprising facts.1
