I think that it is quite difficult to sayy that logic is the art of going wrong with confidence because there are many times that you can confidently use logic to make your point. Although premises are often disproved through logic, it is because the premise will not entirely relate to the argument. For example:
All cars are nissan
A honda civic is not a nissan
(therefor) A honda civic is not a Car.
This premise is not accurate because it does not include all cars, not just because the author of the premise lacks the confidence to call it a car. For a person to say that you must not have confidence if you use logic, then they are using logic that is not logical. Understand??

I liked the example you used, i agree that you can use confidence and logic to make your point.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you're saying because since logic is something that is nearly impossible to disprove, it's easy to have confidence when proving a point.
