A questionable aspect of the reasoning above is that it fails to take into account that
logicians' being illogical in their discussions of logic constitutes incompetence, whereas physicians' having an unhealthy lifestyle does not
if a physician's health deteriorates badly, the physician may not be able to treat patients effectively
physicians who are incompetent to practice medicine can cause more harm than can logicians who discuss logic illogically
it is more difficult to become logical in one's discussions of logic than it is to modify an unhealthy lifestyle
although it is not necessary for logicians to be logical in order to be competent to discuss logic, it is highly desirable
