Big difference between a belief being reasoned and belief being based on sound reasoning. You are using reason as a means to knowledge only in the second case.

Actually, correctness is found in sound reasoning. Which is why knowledge is, by definition, a mirror of truth.

On the contrary, I've questioned them and found the answers. Which is why I know I am not wrong.
