The concept was established by Aristotle; logic was invented by humans. Therefore, logically (see what I did there? ), we can deduce it to be impossible for us to be born with the ability to form analytical expositions.
Hope this answers your question
I disagree with your analysis. Logic is both knowledge and a tool and we have it built in us. We just learn to process it and apply it later.
Also, it's all intuitive and properly basic. Yet we know for certainty it is correct.
Whether it was acquired or not, it's intuitive knowledge.
