In clarification:

Just as in relativity, there can be and often is more than one version of the truth pertaining to the same set of parameters. Both are correct.

Just as in life people often conclude conflicting truths regarding the same set of facts. If one of them wants to convince the other to conceed to his version, then he:

Should understand the nature of "truth" in that it exists in the mind of the beholder alone;

and he should use formal logic to "create" his truth in the mind ofthe other.

I didn't mean I find truth with logic, I meant I use logic to syncronize different versions of truth held by different people, thereby giving birth to a higer level of truth. Don't take that to mean i apply this to science, no.

Truth is subject to change under logical scrutiny. Truth is a compromised version of reality, or better a collective version of reality and the holders of such truth must see it this way as well.

Logic is of a higher order. When souund logic is introduced into a truth seeking mission, it is as if the logic is unopinionated, it is not "my" logic" or "your" logic; therefore it is given defference.
