Its a relative observation thing (tree forest falling cyanide cats, you know) ... some things can only exist when there is an observer (human or otherwise) because they require intelligence to be so.

The problem is, you cannot falsify it, because if the law of contradiction is not true, then it is not not true, because to say that it is not true is to invoke the law of contradiction in your refutation of the law of contradiction, which is not a falsification but a reaffirmation of it.
Didn't I? Bummer! It doesn't require falsification because it ain't science!

A subjectivist definition of logic doesn't account for the non-uniformity of human subjective minds, and cannot. You need to invoke objectivity in contradistinction to popular and subjective opinion for that.
Truth is not something science deals with therefore I reject the concept except as a mathematical concept.
