Quote B
Logic really is the art of going wrong with confidence. Since a logical statement is created by logical premises it will always seem correct despite if it really is or isn't. Logical statements are made and then others feed off of these logical statements to reach conclusions. But if one of the premises made at one point is incorrect then the conclusion will not be correct. In fact it will be wrong due to a false statement that no one can prove is really false because it seems so logical that it is very difficult to prove if it isn't. If the person who reaches a logical conclusion from other logical premises assumes that the statements are correct do to things like deductive reasoning then that person will be confident in their answer. Even if it is incorrect, they will not realize it and be sure that their conclusion is indisputable right because it is backed by logic. Since all logic is not correct, it can lead to the art of going wrong with confidence. Causing confident people to be wrong with their ideas that are based on logical statements that are not really accurate.
