Allow Steve to explain using a simple analogy. One of the most basic mathematical equations would be 1 + 1. Most of us learnt this before we even fully mastered our mother tongue. We have always been told that 1 + 1 = 2. Correct? Wrong. In different contexts, this simple equation can yield different answers.
From a mathematical point of view, 1 + 1 is 2. Give a guy a beer and then you give him another beer, you get two beers. From a binary point of view, you put two 1s together, you get 11. Yet again, from a romantic point of view, when a man and a woman get together, they become one, i.e. 1 + 1 = 1. Taking this simple equation alone in different contexts, one gets different answers. Life is full of surprises and miracles, yet man has always tried to simplify everything using logic.
With a closed mind, how then can anyone fully understand anything in life? We cannot put life in a laboratory and sterile environment and then spin off some logical equation in a bid to understand it.
Life is simply much bigger than logic.
