I wouldn't have thought so, otherwise there wouldn't be 9/11 truthers and Apollo Hoax Believers, many of whom presumably consider their beliefs to be perfectly logical. If the information being logically assessed is faulty or incomplete, any belief based on it is going to be as well.

Right, inasmuch as I hold any beliefs in this subject at all; which I don't. I am willing to be convinced, however. All it takes is that e-word.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
