Ian said to dmb:
Logic is itself a set of constraints, but we should not be constrained to arguments where logical relations between objects (spv's) are our ONLY tools. I'm rejecting a narrow definition of intellect defined only by logic.     ...We are expanding intellect by adding "quality" considerations to it.  BUT, those "quality" considerations do not all lend themselves to objective logic - algebraic language about "objects". Logical rationality and definitions are indeed the "foundation" for the expanded intellect - but not the whole of it - we need to build the extensions above it.

Who ever said any such thing such that you should feel the need to reject it. Looks like a silly straw man to me. 

Thanks for nothing and congrats on the dazzling bullshit. You successfully evaded the criticism without letting me see that. Nope, I didn't notice any weasel-like moves at all.
