Yes. There an over reliance on logic is possible. Once an incorrect value is added to an argument, the whole argument becomes invalid. It becomes quite difficult to recognize a mistake exists.

Logically, the value of real estate would keep going up in the United States as it had done for 15 years. People over relied on Logic and the market crashed when reality happened.

The real world breaks through.

Some engineers think they can use mathematical formulas to predict the values of stocks and debentures. For a while it works. It uses logic. One day it goes horribly wrong. There was a mistake in the program. They over relied on mathematical logic.

Educators decided to try progressive education. They tried it on professors' children. It worked. Logically, they could spread it to the general population and improve the education of all children. It did not work. Average children needed far more discipline. Educators kept insisting progressive education was the logical way to proceed.

Every now and them someone in Physics comes up with something logical that is backed up by math and that a mathematical formula proves to be true. Take it with a grain of salt. There is a formula that proves bumblebees and hummingbirds can not fly. Another formula says a locomotive can not pull a train.

Logic is a good tool to clarify thinking. It is a tool, not a master.

What is the difference between logic and science?

I would say logic is a prerequisite for science. In other words science is specific application of logic, not something completely separate. Logic presents the next stage in the scientific process or thinking. So every logical thing can only be logical if its approved by a scientific method; (theory, hypothesis, e.t.c). One leads to another.


Is logic an art?

Logic is not typically considered an art but rather a discipline or system that deals with the principles of reasoning and critical thinking. While some aspects of logic may involve creativity and problem-solving, it is more commonly viewed as a science or a tool for analyzing arguments and drawing valid conclusions.
