Applying logic to potentially illogical behaviour is to construct a house on shifting foundations. The structure will inevitably collapse.

I am convinced that the act of thinking logically cannot possibly be natural to the human mind. If it were, then mathematics would be everybody's easiest course at school and our species would not have taken several millennia to figure out the scientific method.

NASCAR logic isn't always logical,

Sometimes, convenience has the appearance of logic.

Of course, logic is not the only tool used in debate, and it is helpful to be cognizant of the others. Rhetoric likely tops the list, followed by concepts such as the "burden of proof" and Occam's razor.

the squeeky wheel gets the grease.
