Yes, I guess you are indeed correct. The uniqueness of a Logia is its intangibility and reassembling power. Guess I haven't thought everything through to the end as Crocodile may also be an addition to your example.

This just came to my mind - about Aokiji though, we haven't really seen him fight seriously. In other words, we never saw him break into pieces and then reassemble himself (correct me if I'm wrong). Also, Crocodile's Suna Suna No Mi, however much a solid form, is still different somewhat. I believe you'd agree. It seemed as if Luffy lost to Aokiji only because he was inferior to him in combat and not because he also lacked the control of haki which would grant him the ability to even begin fighting a Logia (once again, special cases like Water/Blood Luffy vs Crocodile aside). I guess it was the lack of haki though (obviously he wouldn't have been able to defeat him either way but first things first).

Something fairly interesting I came across in the Wikia while browsing the Paramecia page for the sake of this reply - Blackbeard's Yami Yami No Mi is listed as both a Paramecia type and a Logia type. Now isn't that intriguing? Just one thing before I begin - I'm not entirely sure if the classification of the Yami Yami No Mi was ever stated in the Manga (or any other reliable source) so I'm going to assume it was not, therefore, correct me if I'm wrong. I predict I'm going to write something lengthy here, let's see if I'm right. After discussing the unique aspects of a Logia type if indeed Blackbeard is correctly classified as a Logia, are there exceptions to these aspects? Which leads to the speculation that perhaps not all Logia types are intangible and can reassemble themselves? Which would then maybe make Luffy able to confront Aokiji without Busoshoku Haki (with the proper combat abilities of course)? Which then leads one to think that maybe other Paramecias could perhaps be classified as Logias? Which would mean many fruits are incorrectly classified? Which leads to think that some fruits could be classified as BOTH Paramecia AND Logia? Which, which, which... Bahhhh, all these intricate matters make my brain hurt, I don't know what to think now, I'm contradicting myself and blurting nonsense (or is it?) XD. This (otherwise lengthy) section will come to an end as it has blown my mind, let's hope the important parts are still intact.

So, to clear things up, my final thoughts are as follows:

I believe you are indeed correct, however, if my assumption is correct (let's hope my comment still makes sense of some sort), there may be exceptions to the Logias' rules which would therefore blow your mind into pieces and you would no longer be able to distinguish between certain Paramecias and Logias and vice versa and I'm going to end this comment here because my mind is just blown *dot* (haha Akali, not funny).

P.S. Yes it was fun, thank you, some kind of unique school trip :D I could start writing lots about it but seeing as I have officially ended my comment above ^^^ and as this is not the place (or anybody's particular interest) I will end with a *dot*.
