Re: Being logical and reasonable is no guarantee of being right
And that's why today's standard for truth isn't logic. It's evidence based on scientific experiments.
This is orthogonal to the use of logic.
The world is full of examples, where people rationalize anything they want to do. Even Hitler rationalized his atrocities and probably seemed reasonable to his people at the time.
Had he kept low-key and laid off the Jew obsession, he would be regarded as one of those European socialist hardcore dictators, nothing to get upset about.
probably seemed reasonable to his people at the time
