To extend your question, btw, is to ask why on this basis should we not believe absolutely everything we can quickly qualify as a 'special' case, since with all bets off, there is no distinction within that class of thing between 'good' and 'bad' special?
Indeed, why shouldn't we? I can think of several possible reasons but Hume doesn't present any of them.
Hume does actually make supplementary arguments to his main argument about miracles but they're not terribly good either.
