Exactly, we don't understand, but we want to believe it's reasoning, which would be magic.

There's no belief or magic required, the word 'reasoning' is used here to refer to an observed capability, not a particular underlying process.

We also don't understand exactly how humans reason, so any claims that humans are capable of reasoning is also mostly an observation about abilities/capabilities.
