I'm fairly sure that Knuth says something like this in one of his 
books, possibly the one that is a compendium of samples of his 
writings. If not him then it was someone else of approximately his 
stature.

And, FWIW, I've been at this for a very long time and it's the way it 
seems to me too. If the ability to make syllogisms and other logical 
constructions were paramount then I would be dead.
