We rarely use reasoning too. When a lightning strikes, a thunder follows. When the sun shines, trees grow. These are correlations we've learned. Now can you derive them with proper reasoning? In fact, if we dig deep enough, at some point we'll face some principle or axiom that just postulates an observed correlation as a law.

What we call reasoning can be the art of finding a chain of small correlations to connect ends of a big correlation. Some sort of quantum-powered DFS algorithm.

However a reasoning machine is just a machine. Someone needs to tell it what to reason about.
