Thank you for clearly stating what I was trying to say. Logic is a fine thing, but it is utterly dependent on the premises. As humans - we do not choose our premises logically - let alone rationally.

Perhaps I was being fussy over the verb "contain", which to me suggests an envelopment, a designation of thinking as a sunset of logic.
