In other words, I don't agree with you (logic was one of my strong suits, both in my GRE exam (cumulative score 2190) and my Philosophy program (cum laude). Ad hominum attacks were irrevocably proven fallacious by the Greeks over 2500 years ago. Do you ever leave that asphalt tape on which you roll out your subsistence and actually walk in, or camp in, real woods? I have - on many different occasions, in many different places across this land, for many years (it's my idea of vacationing and recharging my batteries to return renewed to the relative savageries of so-called "civilization") and I know what I have seen. Experiential knowledge is known in logic as apodictic (this means self-evident to you lay people), and is irrefutable by abstract reasoning, since it is the ground or foundation from which the premises to be logically processed (induction or deduction, Aristotelian or symbolic) into conclusions by such reasoning must primordially be drawn.
