[Avodah] greek logic and its beauty vis a vis torah logic....

The study of the Torah shall be our main intellectual pursuit. We are not
to study the Torah incidentally. We are not to study Torah from the standpoint
of another science or for the sake of that science. So, too, we are to
be careful not to introduce into the sphere of the Torah foreign ideas that
were developed on the basis of other premises. Rather, we should always
be mindful of the superiority of the Torah, which differs from all other
scientific knowledge through its Divine origin. We should not imagine
that it is based on mere human knowledge and accordingly is on the same
level as other human sciences.

my question is, is the methodology of greek knowledge in their use of
logic (modus ponens, modus tolens, etc), better than ours (eg, kal v'chomer??)
is it this use, perhaps in the future, [moshiach times] that the chachamim
spoke of regarding the beauty of greece (shem v'yafet) in noach blessings.....
