I’d rather you took my thoughts to the ‘reasonable’ conclusion :-) Logic is not the be all and end all in the way we function, nor in the way we’ve evolved as a species. In fact, many cultures have got by quite well without logic, and their contributions to art, literature and philosophy none the less without that tradition.
