Is Logic important or Communication, and which order should we learn while growing up.

Generally, Logic is given precedence and communication is treated like an ‘also’ thing.

Here’s an anecdote that negates this status quo,

Cauchy (French mathematician known for Integral theorem), his talent for mathematics was recognised while he was a child,

But Lagrange (Italian mathematician also his father’s friend) suggested that don’t let him touch any book of mathematics before he turns seventeen but rather work on his literary skills so that he is able find his true ‘voice’.

Makes one think to balance one’s efforts while learning about maths/logic and literature/communication.
