>>So would you grant that Logic is a suitable tool for determining if such internal contradictions exist?<<

I would grant that... assuming we are talking about informal logic. If you mean some type of formal logic, we must first define axioms, symbols, and how they can be manipulated. Or, if using an existing logical system, we should agree on how this will map onto the "real world".

But I don't want to tie up this exercise in formalities. I think I can agree with you in spirit, and you can rest assured that I will object if you stray outside of logic usage that I would condone.
