This seems backwards to me.  Take the Law of the Excluded Middle:
p or not-p (e.g., 'it is raining' or 'it is not raining'.)
It not like we experience rain, then no rain, then rain, then no rain,
but never anything else, so conclude that it must be raining or not raining.
Rather logic is imposed on our experience of rain & no rain in order
to make sense of it.
