Proper logic can lead to truth. The paradox is that you must start with some things that you take as fact (truth) to begin the chain of logic in order to generate new truths. These base line axioms are often disputed or refuted.

There is no single type of logic, but a variety and no single type of logic has ever proven applicable to everything observable even if disregard quantum mechanics.
Similarly, I prefer not to make up my own definitions for words. Just call me too ignorant to invent my own private language.
