It seems, rcglinsk, that you are asking about the extent to which certain forms of logic are applicable, or used (or both), in modern science or not.
Is that so?

That's odd. I've never thought of logic as having forms which are applicable in some settings but not others. Granted, you might not want to try logic when negotiating with a two year old. "Because I said so" is not a logical argument, but it's the right one for the situation. Are you saying one's logic should change from scientific topic to scientific topic?
