In fact, I pretty much hate anything that doesn’t follow logic, or follows only a logic of its own. Furthermore, I profoundly dislike it when people try to coax others into fear by using something that closely resembles logic, but that’s actually gibberish. One of the best examples I can find of this principle is the whole Y2K bug thing. Remember that? Back a few years, some fear mongers actually tried to talk people into believing that all electronic devices might just… cease to function at the turn of the millenium? Man, that was so XX century. I’m really glad we’re over that!
