It's not a logical problem in the sense defined by logicians today. A person can deny the premise.
But remember logic once meant the word, and so the word is the word of God, and it's self-defeating to use word of God to deny the word of God.
That is why I hate people hanging up on definitions of today. Ancients who passed us language, they derived these words, from a less abstract simple way and they weren't cold definers of the word, but had deep layered way of understanding them.
These days, everything is made so trivial.
But essentially you are right, by the definition of logical problem, there is none, it would invalidate the argument.
And there is no such thing as axioms. I'm not going to say it's self-evident, rather, we are to experience language and it's meanings, and language is communication, and symbols that form letters and words are not, nor is the Webster dictionary or any dictionary enough to know what a word means.
It's experience.
And Logic to me still remains the word of God who is the one who makes everything speak.
Ok, fine. So you agree there is no logical problem in the conventional sense of the term. That's all I wanted to get out of you. This went better than I thought, actually. Carry on.
