logic as i know it has truth values. things either are true or they are not. apparently, in English, it is not the same. for example, an argument i often make against something is it's negation. if someone says something like a narrative, linear thought, is the normal way we think, i would bring up dreams. Dreams operate by rules unknown to us but are an important part of our thinking/mind. If dreams exist, then how can it be said that narrative is the natural way our minds work? i used this argument in class but people jumped on me because they thought i was saying dreams can't be narratives. i was just saying narratives can't be dreams. ah well.
