The logical works are not meant to be "epistemological" works in the modern sense at all. They are a means of presenting already acquired knowledge in a coherent fashion. At no (or almost no) point in Aristotle's philosophizing is this system actually used. Read Book I of the Physics. Good luck finding syllogisms or arguing from first principles. Rather, he argues from doxa, what the wise men say.

That's like complaining that Kant didn't follow his ethical theory when he masturbated.
