More than argument, logic is the structure of reality

Logic is inherently tied to the way in which the arguments are presented. Language is contextual (relative), nuanced, incomplete and variable, ie. not always as concrete as it seems.
For example, "Maria" (from the article) may have multiple personalities, or pseudonyms, etc. which then results in a false conclusion about the whereabouts of the person who is named "Maria."
There is always more information in or about the arguments to be revealed. And this "hidden" information can render the logical conclusion as useless.
Spend some time critically analyzing logical conclusions and you will quickly come to see its weakness vis a vis reality.
