Oh sure.. be my guest...

"So you think there is only oneset of logic, which is universally binding??"

'Set'? There are different types of 'reasoning' that are called logic, according to what is at issue. The very term can be, like 'folk' to music, applied to stuff that suits a specific agenda. "Informal logic" is not what I was referring to. (I hasten to say I am NOT an expert on the intricacies of the categories. I ordinarily limit my concern to the internal consistencies of language and 'formal' logic coupled with 'informal fallacies.)

"Ahmmmmm. I'd like to stay up late pursuing that rather lengthy discussion."

Might be possible.... first four hours devoted to agreeing on definitions?
