So you're saying that things that are logically impossible can exist?
Fallacy alert! "You cannot prove it (or disprove it) with logic" is NOT the
same as "It's logically impossible."
Maybe I should dig out my old Philosophy 146 textbook?
Nope. I'm talking about the limits of logic. One cannot prove absolute
non-existence with logic. You may infer it all day long, but you can't
prove it with logic.
