Sense reffers to physiological methods of perception. You use that to interpret everything including science experiements.

Common sense based on a strict construction of the term, consists of what people in common would agree on: that which they "sense" (in common) as their common natural understanding.

Understanding reffering to the conclusions people draw. Conclusion are formed through reasonning, Reasonning icludes various forms of logic.

Logic is a piller of common sense, and thus your statement wrong and in need of clairification.

Logic is a tool not a matieral. Logic can build a conclusion, much how I can build a house. I am not the house. A Pillar of something is not a part of it. It's what holds something up.

Many things that are and have been "Common sense" aren't built on logic.

So long as the same logic is around the same conclusions will be reached. Therefore there is no need to keep around common sense during an arguement or expierment as the expierement or arguement will lead back to said "Common" sense if it still does hold true.

If however it isn't true. It will be disporven as logic will bring about a different conclusion.

This is why expierments have a null hypothesis.

Ones beliefs will not effect the actual outcome of an expierment like Peter Pan.

Therefore the only reason to bring in any preconceived notions into the expierment after it has been formed is if you are afraid you will be wrong.

If you aren't willing to shed yourself of the belief that you might be wrong after the expierment is set up you really have no reason to be doing the experiment in the first place. (Or to argue anything.)

You are seperating common sense and logic I am not saying they are inseparable but rather nonexclusive terms.

I think you have trouble reading.

I Agree with you. So you know I am very prone to play devils advocate. Though I do not enjoy being attacked for it.

Blocking "common sense" is one thing but blocking logic is not good.
