If the basis of logic is deduction, then the logical question is: what is the basis of deduction? The a priori certainty with which a deductive claim is made is unjustifiable by virtue of the claim alone, we must experience something—a change of consciousness?—that comes to us from an experience that is not logical at all, if only precisely because it confirms the logic.
Great scene, love it, but the logic professor screwed up the question. It's supposed to go: You come to a fork in the road, you don't know which road leads to your destination, there are two men at the fork who know, one of whom always tells the truth while the other always lies, but you don't know who is who and you can ask each man only one question--what do you ask to find out which road to take? The way the professor framed it leaves you all sorts of options. Der Professor ist ein Dummkopf.
@awaggenspack ..but isn't inductive logic is rather weak to defend since it's more of a bias comment than of a factual comment to get to the solution?
This is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE part!! Thanks so much for uploading it; it's a gem!

@somebutthead I think I´d have to watch the whole thing to really be allowed to judge it. But I was immediately confused by the way this was done...

but, the professor is right - logic is the results of deduction...

@DSM1G90 you are forgetting inductive logic. both questions were deductive though, the professor was just being stubborn.

@both of you. The point of this is not the acting...

Why? These are untrained actors. I would understand your complaint if they were professional, experienced actors, but they are not.

That's just not a logical conclusion. I can't accept that answer.
