I was thinking that if something is illogical it is also in effect absurd because it is not grounded in reality as we live in a world governed by immutable physical laws. So what we think to be true through faux logic is in fact not true no regardless of our need/desire for it to be true. This is my logic, is it accurate or inaccurate? Where and how?

I think that your logic is correct in this situation. Illogic can not be true. Without logic, it is impossible to reason. Without reason, we can't tell the truth. Bad reasoning is automatically falsity. Non reason is automatically bad. That probably wasn't quite right sylogistically, but I think still right.

Logic is a means to describe for another what our experience is or was. We describe with the best ability we have at the moment. All principles are descriptions we must sense for our self to know. Do we 'think' them true when we see them, or only when our descriptions are challenged as to their truth. I say only when they are challenged. Unchallenged they are simply practical facts.

If they did not arrive at their conclusion logically, it just means it is not NECESSARILY true. If it is proven false by logic, on the other hand, it is absolutely untrue (i.e. if someone decides that a piece ofpaper is white because their desk is brown, it does not mean the paper is not white).
