Who has time to answer questions these days?
We have hands that fashion and heads that know,
But our hearts we lost - how long ago! -- G. K. Chesterton
What happens if you don't ask the question in the first place?
God rest you merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay.

Has anyone heard the expression: Don't believe everything that you see and only half of what you hear?
What if you mostly hear things that are true?
How do you sort the things that are mostly true from the others that definitely aren't true?
Couldn't you prove that some of the things are true?
Are there mathematical rules of reasoning we could use?

Doesn't that sort of logical reasoning depend on a knowledge of algebra?
Does a lack of algebra prevent anyone from thinking logically?

"...when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor's stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backwards."
Why isn't logical reasoning taught without reference to algebra and other mathematical principles?
Can logical reasoning be tied to non-mathematical principles?

Why aren't the differences between assumptions, presumptions and facts taught as non-mathematical examples of logical reasoning?
