There are examples on the boundaries, such as the strengthened liar's paradox and Godel's theorems which show that straightforward acceptance of the PNC as an unqualified truism is problematic.
The PNC is one rule of an algorithmic game which has shown itself capable of ferreting out what we accept as truth regarding statements and their relationships, provided we constrain ourselves to a very specific set of circumstances. This does not make the PNC a law of the universe, or true in any other context than the game in which it is contained. We use it because it works, in that context, not because we can demonstrate that it is a truism, as Jorg explained.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
