You are welcome to your opinion of course, but you should realize that
you've just said that the principles of logic are too vague for
use in careful thinking. If that's right I think we'll just have to
agree to disagree on that point.

Oh, come ON, David!
Talk about non-seqitors.
Has Richard been teaching you NLP "embedding" techniques?
;-)
Seriously, though. I was going to send a post saying almost
exactly the same thing that Robin did. You've chosen the
broadest definition (#2) and the most vague (#3). If you
mean "reasonable" why don't you say so?
As in:
"Well, you can believe in God, but that isn't reasonable."
"Well, you can beileve in God, but that isn't sane."
