On: Why Facts Don't Change Our Minds

[jjaredsimpson]

I think you are substituting reasoning with deduction.

Reasoning is the human process of deciding what one ought do. Deduction is a mechanical process of discovering what follows from axioms.

Human reasoning is often fails by not being perfectly deductive.

I'll grant that you might think I'm nitpicking on definitions.

Not that I suppose it matters that much, but I mean reasoning not deduction
