Of course, a rule is not sound or complete on its own; the important question is whether a particular system of rules is together sound and compete. There are systems with EI that are sound and complete. But it can take a particular combination of other rules to achieve this. Normally, I think of UG

Its very easy to see, just take the rule for Universal generalization:
