Interestingly people have to be trained in logic and identifying fallacies because logic is not a native capability of our mind. We aren’t even that good at it once trained and many humans (don’t forget a 100 IQ is median) can not be trained.
Reasoning appears to actually be more accurately described as “awareness,” or some process that exists along side thought where agency and subconscious processes occur. It’s by construction unobservable by our conscious mind, which is why we have so much trouble explaining it. It’s not intuition - it’s awareness.
