Not only tested, but in many cases … proven (see theorem, axiom).
The principles and axiomatic proofs are repeated time and time again, everytime we derive a resultant, or develop technology/tools via mathematical logic.

Why, or how, anyone can think they can refute the rationale behind mathematical logic completely escapes me.

The application of this maths to the physical world, is a reasonable line of query.
