Yup, I used to fall into the dumb 'fax and logic' hole myself. It's funny how easy it is to ignore where your axioms come from.
I got into a knock-down drag-out argument recently with someone who couldn't separate that while there were objective measures by which their assertion scored highest, choosing which objective measures practically make something right or wrong is entirely subjective and context-dependent.
