Trying to diminish this as brute force (something by the way that is categorically not 'unfamiliar to human brains' - as anyone who has every worked on complex slippery problems will tell you) is foolish, when the models hypothesize along the way to their solutions. That's reasoning.
The dimension of brute force unfamiliar to human brains is "well-read with zero judgement", where connections can be made even if they're not thought through.
Grinding through completions isn't reasoning.
