Yeah, Rational AKD isn't even right that the laws of non-contradiction and excluded middle HAVE to apply. The law of the excluded middle is controversial (especially outside classical logic), and the law of non-contradiction is outright rejected by paraconsistent logical systems, as well as dialetheism:

And if I remember correctly, some logical systems treat even the law of identity as not necessarily true in some fashion (I'll try to find them again). So even if contradictions aren't conceivable, they aren't necessarily all metaphysical impossibilities (even if I think they are).
