Though Omar uses the expression "logical contradiction" to apply to the first
form, it is unclear to me that any of the three involve any kind of logical
contradiction in the way, for example, 'a' and 'non-a'logically contradict -
that is, they cannot both be true. But it can be true that I deviate in my
action from my own maxims etc.
