I am advocate of simple logical thought. But case is not about the supremacy of any kind of thought to other. Simple logical thought is not supreme. The case is that simple logical thought does have its role. And I am advocate of simple logical thought for this case.

Now we come to the main question. Can simple logical thought be misleading?

Yes it is possible that simplistic logical thought be misleading. But complex mathematical thought also can be misleading. Following is reliable for me however:

• Start from observation/ observed facts.
• Simplistic logical thought.
• Internally consistent.
• Does not defy observations.
• Free from twisted logic.

Simplistic logical thought that starts not from observations but from larger ideas or theories about reality are not reliable. Examples …

• Universe is finite having radius R >>> interpretion of observed redshifts.
• Universe is moving at speed of light >>> observed data tallies with my theory.
• Universe started from xyz waves >>> everything gets explained.
