I've accepted your hypothetical. 2+2=5 in some alternative universe, somehow. Whatever rules must be at play to make that true, they clearly aren't the same rules that we refer to when we use the term. You don't even disagree with this, they are different rules. As such, calling those rules "logical" is simply nonsense. Give them their own name, add an "al" to the end of that...and be done with it....just like last time.
Why can't we call both sets rules of logic? Distinct, but both being rules of logic?
