You assume that two people reasoning will come to the same conclusion. Not so. When reasoning, you take all the facts you can get, then apply reason and prejudice to come to a conclusion

Prejudice?.. that's not reasoning!

Sure is, reasoning means putting the facts together, but your experience, background and opinion, that's prejudice, causes you to weigh the facts differently.
While its true some facts are more important, and giving them all the same importance is wrong, just how you weigh them, rank them, depends on prejudice.
