RE: Why is Hamza Tzortzis wrong? Deductive vs inductive arguments.

Great point! Yes, it is true that advanced logic could get us farther. But isn't it also true that advanced logic is based on additive simpler logic (a concatenated string of simpler logical steps)? The result of advanced logical might not be itself reached by instinct, but it needs our acceptance of the underlying logic - which is an instintive acceptance... I guess. This differs from science because a logical proposition can't be tested on anything other than logical propositions. Since scientific propositions can be empirically tested against the physical reality, our instinct and logic can be more easily be demonstrated to be false - as it happens in quantum physics.
