You have again answered with your customary condescension. Is that really necessary? Everything you write is just dripping with patronizing superiority and combatative sarcasm.

They are not the _same_ concept then.

> It's only meaningless if you don't know what the philosophical or epistemological definitions of reasoning are. Which is to say, you don't know what reasoning is. So you'd think it was a meaningless statement.

The problem is the only information we have is internal. So we may claim those things exist in us. But we have no way to establish if they are happening in another person, let alone in a computer.

Do humans think? How do you tell?
