Here's a good example of non-logic. I was in my local supermarket last evening and couldn't find the onions in the vegetable section. I asked what had happened to them.
"They've been moved down there." (pointing) "Why?" "Because it's summer." "Apart from the fact that it's actually Spring, why have the onions been moved?" "We sell more salad." "So why does that mean the onions have been moved?" "To make more room for the salad." "How does moving the onions make more room for the salad?" "It just does." By which time I'd been joined by a couple of other shoppers who wanted to know the answer too. "But if I move from this spot here to this spot over here, I haven't made more room." "That's not the same thing." "Yes, it is." "Have you made more space available for the salad and reduced the space for the onions?" "No." "So how is there more space for the salad?" "I don't know. There just is. I just do as I'm told." >From another shopper "Well, there's male logic for you. Isn't the real reason so that you hope that we'll see other things while we look for what we really came in for and buy more than we attended?" "Well, yes." "So why not say that in the first place?"
