They’re two words with different meanings, and I don’t find semantic arguments engaging, sorry.

Even though your whole contribution to this discussion was semantic.

The definition of reasoning is: "the action of thinking about something in a logical, sensible way."

As if evidence could not be a component of reasoning that leads one to logic and sense.

The only reason why you don't want to engage this further is because you knew your quip was fruitless from the start.

Have a nice life.
