Everybody,

 

Have a look at the link, doxastic logic, that Russ put in his note below.  It’s a stunner.  Nick

The preferred variant of many (vocal) FRIAMers is Dogmatic Logic which is the preferred logic of Conceited and Peculiar reasoners (as defined by Doxastic logic), though Bombastic reasoning always prevails!

When I first read Smullyan's "Forever Undecided", I realized that I was a Timid reasoner regarding religious issues, but in all else I was either a Knee-jerk (similar to Reflexive, but more violent) reasoner or a Perniciously Precocious reasoner (similar to Peculiar reasoner, only more destructive).

I just can't leave stuff alone, can I?
