Negative, Captain. Rigorously correct logical reasoning is easily within 
the grasp of a typical person if they wish to seek it out. While logic 
alone cannot confirm the truth of a premise, it can however reach a 
contradiction that disproves the truth of a flawed premise, and it can 
establish relationships between a premise and a proposed truth.
