Logic

[HinaBaby]

Let's play with our minds a little, shall we?

1. Sociologists understand the logic of events.
2. The logic of his argument is valid.
3. The logical thing for you to do is to study.
4. Socrates is a very logical person.

What do you think are the differences between these four?

1&4 start with an s but have logic and logical (different forms of the word). And 2&3 start with t, same thing. Is that what you were asking for? :o Did I fail?

1. Sociologists are about as far down on the scientific food chain as you can go so I'm quite surprised they're in the same sentence as logic in such a flattering way.
2. Who? There's nobody defined as having an argument in this statement, and there's no argument. There's just a vague affirmation.
3. Is it? I could do with a bit of a rest right now, and I have no pressing need to study for anything.
4. Supposedly, possibly. But I don't think any of us have met him and are in a position to confirm this statement.

Is the difference that they're all baseless statements with some kind of different fallacy behind them?

idk this hardly seems logical. I'm more of an A implies B sort.

What do you think are the differences between these four?

The first one seems to refer to people picking apart the contextual reasons for cause and effect.
The second one refers to the soundness of the arguement.
The third one uses "logic" as a means of justifying a choice of action.
The final one describes a a trait of a person or of their approach to thought.

The differences between them are the context in which the idea of logic is being referred to. In the first two, logic is used as a noun associated with and in support of something, the other two use logic to describe attributes of an action and a person, respectively.

This sounds like one of those trick questions with a super abstract answer that makes the asker feel smart.
