LOGIC
“It’s logical, but logic has nothing to do with reality.” Logic is the art or skill of non-contradictory identification. Logic has a single law, the Law of Identity, and its various corollaries. If logic has nothing to do with reality, it means that the Law of Identity is inapplicable to reality. If so, then: a. things are not what they are; b. things can be and not be at the same time, in the same respect, i.e., reality is made up of contradictions. If so, by what means did anyone discover it? By illogical means. (This last for sure.) The purpose of that notion is crudely obvious. Its actual meaning is not. “Logic has nothing to do with reality” but: I, the speaker, have nothing to do with logic (or with reality).” When people use that catch phase, they mean either: It’s logical, but I don’t choose to be logical” or: It’s logical, but people are not logical, they don’t think----and I tend to pander to their irrationality.”

The reason that every company that proposes that they make a fabric that has the ability to function as a waterproof fabric while still being vapor permeable (they say breathable) will never come after anyone legally is because what these companies publish about their material or composite of materials is not logical. I have published a multitude of articles as well as articles written by people who have published then on their own web site or in magazines debasing the waterproof-vapor permeable lack of actions of these fabrics and products from rainwear to footwear.
By what means did one of the so called;” discovers” of such a material discover it? “By illogical means?” YES!How did they identify what they had discovered actually functioned in this manner? They didn’t, they ignored the Law of Identity. They never identified what they were looking at and they just assumed what they were looking at would work in a manner they wished it to work. Hoping and wishing never accomplishes anything.
For the past 40 years all companies that have placed in the market place materials that they wish would work in this manner have learned that what they are promoting does not work as intended. They have attempted to promote processes such as re-water repelling the fabrics that have failed to perform as were originally advertised to perform. Now some of the companies even make their own brand of water repellent treatment. Why is that necessary if the materials are waterproof? They have changed from placing the film on the inside of the garment to putting a coating on the outside of the fabric. The only thing that has changed is the location of the film or the coating; not its ability or lack thereof to work.
Note that over the many years that these materials have been available and used for products that do not work and the many people who have stated as such have never been sued by any of the companies making these products regardless if they make the fabrics or finished garments is because they know they cannot prove what they claim.
It has been a couple of weeks since I presented a challenge to any company that makes the materials or garments from said materials to come to Grand Junction to in essence prove to me that they do actually have a product that works as advertised by them. Of course I never did think any would take me up on the challenge.
Imagine the wonderful position they would be in if they tried to sue someone for saying their product does not perform as advertised they would be in. All that publicity they would bring upon themselves would be devastating to them. So they stay quiet and let people in the know say what they want because these companies function on the basis that a sucker is born each day, so they have new uninformed customers until they become informed and discover the stuff does not work as advertised.
My advice is not to become one of those suckers!
