Not at all! Logic teaches you which goals are possible, and allows one
to pick those which one has the greatest chance of achieving. One must
know ones natural skills and what one can do with it LOGICALLY in order
to set a goal!

Moving ones limbs is illogical? Simply because a skill has become
proficient to the point of not having to think about it is an example of
the triumph of non-logic? To accept that argument would be a good
example of the need to be illogical!

One comes to your last conclusion by weighing the evidence of

Logic is the non-contradictory weighing of the evidence. A chain of
reasoning built on facts. Experience is the cornerstone of logic.
Physical and social skills are things one learns logically if they have
any validity.The Nateman
