ZNF, in logic, some claims are so improbable that they are categorize as impossible. Consider the claim that the character "Superman" is actually based on me. Right now, your brain is almost instantly coming up with numerous examples that are weighing what you know against my claim and, unless you're actually a nut-job, by now I'm sure you've concluded that my statement is false, or, if you'd prefer a different word, "impossible". With a claim like "I am actually Superman" it is illogical to even consider an extremely low-probability factor that I actually run into telephone booths and fly around in spandex and a cape when nobodies looking. This is what it means to be logical.
