True, you don't have to actively use logic in order to arrive at a correct conclusion. This is pretty closely related to what FDG said in the previous post. However you have no real means of evaluating the correctness of your conclusion unless you can analyze it with logic. So it becomes a belief. Belief can be correct but can also can be incorrect. There is no reliable way of measuring that except logic. I would think people learn to trust their beliefs if they find them to bring them practical material or immaterial benefits (which can be seen as indirectly prooving the correctness of their belief). In science world this is not acceptable. However in business world it is. If your ideas bring success to the company and increase the bottom line it "prooves" that your ideas are "correct" without a need to formally logically explain them. This is prolly related to Ti vs Te value difference.Originally Posted by discojoe
