Isn't it odd that those who most often claim to espouse critical thinking have never even taken a class in logic... and even act as if logic is irrelevant to critical thinking.

Overall, it seemed to be just another article that missed the mark by another author who had no more idea what he was writing about than what he read on wikipedia.
