I posted earlier about "pure logic" and was rebuffed because of course pure
logic means logic without thought. Well what I actually meant by "pure
logic" was people ensuring that 100% of what they said was formally
logically consistent with the rest of what they said. My problem with David
R's axioms was that they were consistent, but got no-one anywhere. That's
consistency without content: perfect (perhaps) -ly consistent, but hollow,
ideas.
