I haven't been following the illogical thread (too much family -- too
much food) but the small statement here suggests Plato's definition of
knowledge. If the sentence is illogical, then it's truth is merely
accidental (and, therefore, not good enough for knowledge).
Ursula, back to the family and the food (and the odd glass of red
wine...)
My apologies to Andreas if this is an irrelevant response to his showing
of possibility -- which I no longer have...

A few days ago, we discussed illogical statements. The logicians hold
that it's impossible for a sentence to be both illogical and true. But
I showed that this was possible. Why couldn't an expert in logic prove
this? Here's an article from today's NYT about this.
