“Logic is the art of going wrong with confidence.”
I agree with this statement because you can almost never get something completely correct the first time around. Mastering something involves trail and error. My coach used to tell us that even if we didn't know the play that was called to do it 100%. I think the same applies for logic. When trying to prove something logical or making a logical argument you have to do it with confidence. Even if your statement may be wrong you are trying to prove to others that your statement is correct even if it means doing something wrong. Logical statements aren't always true.

I patially agree with your theory and partially disagree. I believe that being confident has nothing to do with making your argument more influetial. If logic is properly used then confident or not the arguent is explained the same way, through corresponding steps.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was great how you brought up real-life situation such as what the coach told you to do while playing a game. You brought up a good point when you noted that logical statements aren't always true.
ReplyDeleteI really like how you referenced to your real life when responding to the blog question. It made your argument much stronger and more interesting to read!
