I think most people, including myself, move from desired outcome to reasons why. Heck, I even do it for my mathematics.

Reasoning backwards is fine. Going from desired outcome to figure out what would be necessary to produce it is useful.
It's another thing to work back from desired outcome to necessary facts and use it to deem those facts true, rather than testing if they are actually true.
