Hi Aloka-D & fojiao2,

I recognize the logic terms, but not this author's application of them.

I object to the "laws" language. I prefer to call Contradiction and the Excluded Middle principles.

Perhaps the author is committing the common error of confusing the principle of the Excluded Middle (and maybe the principle of Contradiction?) with the principle of bivalence (any significant statement is either true or false)?

May all beings find the causes of true happiness within.
