Right. So we disagree in 3 points: convergence, need for a referent, and 
foundations. And I answered your sibling question a long time ago. But the 
answer is irrelevant. So I choose not to answer it again. >8^D

The 3 points of disagreement:

1) Ignore convergence.
2) need for a referent:

  · You say logical argument depends on what's being talked about.
  · I say logical argument depends only on the logic used.

3) foundations:

  · You: the faith in logical unification/foundation is essential inquiry.
  · Me: logics are gaming structures to be assumed and abandoned at will.

Re (2), I am NOT saying logics are "relative as applied". Logics are 
independent of their application. *Reason* (or whatever other word you choose 
for standard thinking and navigating the world) includes the application of 
logic, the assignment of meaning to various logical symbols.
