Logic and common sense

Logically speaking, 2+8=5+5.
But, my common sense says that this is not true in many cases.

-I'll prove it. You just need to have the common sense to criticise or think over it.

There's a task to be completed in a day. There are two people to finish the task. Both of them have the same capacity to do it. They have to divide the responsibilities equally. If one does 20% of the task and the other does 80% , the result will be deviated from the required.


So simple!

There are many theorems proved so far. Most of them are just ideal and that is logic. Archimedes said- "give me space to stand 'beyond' this earth; I'll lift this whole earth in one hand!" Yeah, it's logically perfect. Does it make any practical sense?

Common sense should always overtake the logic. What do you say?

My Common Sense agrees with Archimedes.What he said was pure common sense.Say you are standing on a table and try to lift it from the ground.What does your common sense say? Is it impossible? It does not require any logic.

No i say common sense is thinking that one can do jus 20% work :)
There s no logic in sharing equally, depends on persons expertise n needs.

@Nam:
We can see any objetc from many angles. So There are logics in sharing the tasks equally.

@Gopalakrishna:
I agree with you. But I cant compare that table-ground case with the Archimedes principle, but logically I can.

Common sense is nothing but sensing whether logic should be applied or not.
