Why don't you just answer the question, or can't you?
I just did answer it.
Evaluating whether or not an idea/claim/hypothesis is supported by empirical data or evidence IS APPLYING LOGICAL ANALYSIS TO IT. In order for you to even say that an idea is unsupported by evidence or empirical data you have to logically analyze it FIRST. And claiming you can't logically analyze it because you logically analyzed it and determined it couldn't be logically analyzed would be pretty freaking stupid wouldn't it?
You're just playing games on where the logic is applied. If there is no empirical data or evidence to analyze on a topic, then you can not apply logic to the topic, other than to say there isn't any emirical data or evidence.
That's was a perfectly ridiculous statement. You just basically said exactly what I mockingly said, only you were serious. Which is just sad.
Since in order to say that there is no empirical data or evidence supporting the claim you need to perform a logical analysis of the claim to DETERMINE that, you just said you can't logicaly analyze it other than when you logically analyze it to find out you can't logically analyze it.
Congratulations, you just transformed satire into reality.
