The notion is AFAIS that a deterministic algorithm is obviously not reasoning, and a deterministic algorithm interspersed with dice rolls is obviously not reasoning either.

Of course, some would beg to differ. It's quite common nowadays to believe that we are something like the latter.

There are multiple ways to explain to you that you are wrong. If I roll some dice to choose which way I will use to explain it to you, then why is this not reasoning?

Why is a deterministic algorithm not reasoning? Reasoning is very deterministic.
