Math and logic are mental constructs created as labels to apply to physical objects and the interactions between them. They exist within, and are dependent on, human minds to exist, and human minds are part of the physical world. If you wish to disagree, then defend your assertion: without recourse to human-derived identifications and labels, show me a math or a logic. According to you they exist objectively and independently of humans, so you should be able to do that, else your claim really isn't justified by anything, now is it?
... I mean, it's a silly little word game you're playing anyway. It's just a happy accident that it's also wrong even within the context of the self-serving game itself.
