Reasoning is what we do when we lack complete knowledge. For example a chess master needs to reason because she can’t keep the entire decision tree in her head. Once you have complete knowledge you cease the need to reason. So reasoning is inherently a human trick for functioning with incomplete knowledge. I would go a step further and say the ability to reason and wonder and be enchanted with our world is uniquely a gift we have as humans.
