You might have missed my point. Labelling one's epistemology under the word 'reason' is not useful or explanatory at all. It doesn't tell you whether or not experience is primary in acquiring knowledge, an exercise in pure reason, or somewhere on the scale between those extremes. Even a relevation-based 'epistemology' will make use of reason to some extent, at least as an attempt at justifying why one accepts it.

I didn't bring up anything about her economics views.
