Set aside, not abandon.  Because one must have yedi`ah as well as
emunah.  Ideally yedi`ah helps emunah, by giving one logical reasons
to set ones seichel aside.  But yes, ultimately if one accepts only
because it makes sense, then when it stops making sense one will stop
accepting.  And in the end it *will* stop making sense, if only because
one reaches the limits of ones brain's physical capacity.
