It suggests a necessary assumption yet why should we suppose that strongly felt intuitions of illogicalness actually correspond meaningfully with reality. IOW why must reality be logical?
I can make it explicit if you like. Our intuitions are founded on evolution and experience; our logic is founded on observation and testing. Like Newtonian physics, it may falter in extreme cases, but we don't suppose logic corresponds meaningfully with reality; it's constructed to correspond meaningfully with reality. Logic doesn't hang on imagination, it corresponds to reality by our design.
