I'm not really sure what the point of the post is.

Logic is always conditional. If the premises are true then the conclusion is true. That means we could reach the wrong conclusion with false premises.

Eliezer, are you saying we should stop or diminish our use of logic? Should I eat hemlock because I might be wrong about it's lethality?
