If someone argues that "it's not logical because it's not common," what feelings does that evoke in you?

  • Such a statement seems to me to be just a convenient generalization that avoids deeper analysis.
  • Perhaps this is true in some cases, but I believe that not everything that is new has to be illogical.
  • This type of argument is often used by people who are afraid of change, and it limits my thinking.
  • This approach does not seem flexible to me because it ignores the fact that logic can change with new evidence.
  • I feel that this way of arguing is not sufficiently open to new possibilities.
