Default Re: Wait! Wait! - A Perfect Example?

another way to think of it is this:

regarding a yes/no question that meets our criteria, "an illogical answer is usually wrong" must be false because:

if you knew you were incapable of logic - and were presented with one of these questions...then (if what you are saying were true) you would be better off using an illogical method of your choice to come to a conclusion, and then picking the opposite answer.

that can't work. i will assume its intuitively obvious enough why. (because i think it would be a pain to prove)
