Does the study of formal logic necessarily make a person more logical or being able to construct more reasonable arguments?

As stated in the title, the laymen seem to have the idea that studying of logic makes a person more logical, which I wonder if there are any consensus within philosophy about the actual importance of logic? That is to say, for example, a scientist could make logical arguments and predictions without learning formal logic; would learning formal logic be of any benefits to him/her? Thanks!

Most poor arguments out in the wild aren't lacking in validity (at least, once their unstated premises are charitably explicated), but rather due to biased justifications of the soundness of the premises.

Someone with a keen sense for logic will likely still be as biased as any other human.
