complete balls?
what? I know that a coin is heads on one side and tails on the other, let is take that as a given. What is the problem here? Is logical deduction completely useless in general?

Well firstly working out by deduction how reality exists is in no way comparable to flipping a coin,
your complete unflinching arrogance in thinking that you have discovered and considered all the ways in which the reality could have come into being is staggering. You haven't even considered all sides of the coin, let alone the universe.

Secondly, logical deduction might possibly be useless in general, it's just an idea right? Why does it have to correspond with anything absolutely true?

It's arrogant to deduce anything now,
or maybe only when you don't agree with the conclusion. You'd rather it be vague and open-ended maybe so we can all agree to disagree and get on with living however we want. Well call me arrogant. But tough.

I have considered all the sides of the coin. There are two sides of an ideal coin as used in philosophical thought experiments, heads and tails. And that's it.
