What do you think about this statement?
"Aristotle understood that logic can be used to deduce true consequences from true premises. His error was his failure to realize that we have no absolutely true premises, except ones we define to be true (such as 2+2=4)."
Taken from "Uses and Misuses of Logic"

For me this erases the idea of absolute confidence in logical conclusions.
