Or perhaps a overestimation of the power of logic. I recall that the
discussion started when the Principles were used in support of statements
that just did not feel right to others. I think we have to live with this:
perhaps no thinking system can be so watertight to imply all statements that
one "likes" and exclude all statements that one does not like (there are
analogies in mathematical logic e.g. the Godel proof). I am convinced of the
importance of rational and analytic system thinking but believe that, at
times, basic gut feelings on what is right or wrong may be a better guide.
