Logical reasoning is natural to the human mind-- but so is "going with the gut" --every thinking person can do *both* and you get better at what you practice.

"If A then B, if B then C, therefore since A we know C." is natural reasoning *anyone* can do. And most people do it at least a little... though often in ways that divorce it from logic and mathematics.

The challenge is to help students feel ownership of that logical voice-- not alienation.
