I disagree. I have heard enough people who have been in yeshiva for
many years come out with a krum sevara.

Part of the problem is how to distinguish good logic from bad logic.
Obvious those who are very krum believe themselves to be very logical.

I would argue the opposite that learning mathematics is a good start for
thinking logically. Either something can be proven or not.
I know of universities that use math grades in acceptance of students not
because of the necessity of math in that subject but because it shows a
logical mind
