I didn't say one couldn't cogitate without being cogent, it happens all the time here, and there is ample written evidence that it does. That was your addition, and had nothing whatsoever to do with what I said- just wanted to make that crystal clear, since things so often "sneak" in to these conversations and get attributed to the wrong person. I would find it unusual for someone to be cogent without cogitation- cogent in my dictionary:Appealing to the intellect or powers of reasoning; convincing: a cogent argument I have a hard time imagining things appealing to reason or intellect that had no component of cogitation- but I suppose it is possible. In most cases, though, I would suspect cogitation is implicit.
