> As Mirembe said, logical consistency is a universal obligation. Professor Paul, as usual, tells only the part of the story that favors his modernist reactionary agenda. What Mirembe actually said, of course, is "logical consistency is a universal obligation where logic serves a useful purpose." And, as we all know, logic is very very very far from being universally useful. And if Mirembe wasn't going steadily mad preparing simultaneously for upcoming Arabic final exams and for the move from Tunis she would have some stinging remarks to add that would make Professor Paul wish he had kept his retrograde pro-logic barbs to himself, but they will just have to wait.
