But is Reasoning and Facts truly separate ?

To reason properly about the human condition (eg. World War) wouldn't you need to reason on some facts ? And then reason how some "facts" change the human behaviour ? How can you arrive via pure reasoning to predict how a collective of humans act ? We are not reasonable, humans are not logical deterministic machines confined to algebraic rules.

You can also reason the same way on some complete nonsense. A lot of us do this all the time.
