Can those outside of science credibly speak about science?

I'm talking about real-world logic.

I'm talking about "real world" logic too, because there is no difference between it and formal logic.Logic is logic no matter where it occurs. That's the neat thing about it.That you don't understand this fact is yet another indication that you do not understand the issues in this thread.If you are trying to argue that when given carefully constructed logic problems in a research setting, people are bad at logic, but when thrown into the messy real world to deal with practical issues people are naturally very good at logic, boy are you wrong. The volume of research on how both patients and medical personnel make logical errors in interpreting diagnostic data is staggering (and scary).
