Sometimes I had troubles in communication with Westerners: they said "fact", "fact", "fact" and did not notice that these facts were not logically united with each other, it was just of no importance for them.

It's all not about blaming the West, it's about difference of cultural mentalities.
I think the point is that logical consistence is the crusial criteria only within self-enclosed systems like mathematics. Socionics and other psychological theories are worthwhile to the extent they manage to accurately describe and predict reality, whether they are logically consistent is of secondary importance.
