why? i think you should prove this before i have to disprove it.

the question is multiple choice with 2 choices.

you are more likely to arrive at THE (as opposed to "a") wrong answer ... than someone who uses logical thought, of course. but you are not more likely to arrive at the wrong answer than the right answer.

if you were, a monkey would not be able to average 50% on a true/false test.

please, someone who understands what im saying stand up for me here.

edit: i think i might understand what you are getting at. is it something along the lines of: there are only so many paths of reasoning you can take. if you exclude the "right" path, the leftover paths are more likely to be wrong. ?

i think this logic is flawed. first, because the number of illogical paths is infinite. second, because the illogical paths are independant of the logical path, at least in our example. granted, if the illogical thinkers have access to the logical path, and reject it, then i believe you are right...because there is a sort of correlation going on.

i should have specified in my setup that each level of logic is ignorant of the existence of the level above it.
