Let's be clear on the meaning of *logic*. Logic as a
reasoning power existed before the discipline of
formalized logic.
One can have a very powerful logical reasoning
facility without having attented a course on the
subject.

How can it be anything but a space to be searched?
One can invision a possibility space where one
dimension is time and others possible expression
types.
One might attempt to write a program to demonstrate
consciousness by generating a random program within
some set of constraints and then generating many until
he stumbles upon what he's looking for. When all the
possibilities within the constraints are exhausted,
he's searched the possibility space.
Obviously there are faster ways to search this space
for meaningful results, but it's still a search.

I have not taken a course on it. I have read a book on
Symbolic Logic but found the discipline of little
utility and so not worth my time to incorporate as a
persistent knowledge. My logical reasoning power is
reasonable developed however and find it more than
adequate for most endeavours.
I have noticed that when it comes to exhausting a
possibility space with logic and finding an answer
using intuitive methods then verifty the results with
logic is far more productive.
On the other hand, I can see the temptation to use
one's already developed formalized method to explore a
subject. I however, do not enjoy considering the
possiblity of having my mind placed in a mathmatical
bottle by you people.

I was having a bad day. My appologies for being harsh.
