I agree. The problem is that every language I have studied has it's own logic, with the exception of Welsh, which defies description. The alleged logic doesn't really help you much, because it is different for each language.

Spanish has a relatively simple logic compared to, say, Ancient Greek, which has an optative mood as well as subjunctive, three voices, not two, two entirely different ways of conjugating verbs, and about 14 different noun declensions. It also has imperatives in three different tenses. And it's all quite logical.
