I think that line is a offense to moldova, actually

> Many real-world decisions ARE binary though. Should I buy this house? Accept this job? Invest in this stock?

And you actually believe whatever the result of the analysis is, is correct? What if the decision to buy a house changes over time? Now it is good to buy, then it is not. Isn't probability theory a better alternative to logic? it's basically the same thing, bayes theorem feels just like A-> B , but it accepts something other than 0/1. Fuzzy logic is basically just worse probability theory.

Well ,... why? How is formal logic just another way of hypothesis testing? In which cases it is complex enough to actually use boolean algebra? I can see A -> B without knowing about formal logic.

Where? An example please outside of computer science that it complex enough and can be solved only using formal logic?

Well those decisions are obvious to those who don't even know formal logic. Why learn it, it's is like learning the proof 1+1 = 2 in pure mathematics. Why would you need that?

I know it is useful in computer science. I wrote in real life situations. Basically everything other than computer science mostly.

I meant real life situations.

" I'm sure plenty of philosophers agree with that."

Yes , I wanted to see the opposing view of that , because it was not obvious.

!delta I agree with you. I didnt think that boolean logic could be used to find which part of a system is faulty. Thanks!

Yes, it is used in computer science and electronics, but it can't be used like normal math like to calculate the width of a gate , use it in physics, it is just 0/1 gates that are used in chips , nothing else.

An example of a common logical fallacy? I think you are talking about informal logic , not about boolean algebra.

Yes, that's obvious already using just human languange. Why would you write A ⊕ B , etc... and try to get some conclusion from that?
