What in the hell is this "sound reasoning" bullshit? Sound reasoning is truth already, and you wouldn't know the difference between sound reasoning and logically valid reasoning, which is hopefully what you were trying to say in the first place.
I mean... I can tautology too... but it won't change the fact that I'm sorely unable to observe "truth" from that which I might be lead to believe is "truth"... there is literally nothing that differs between a reasoning that is "correct" (what even is that?) and a reasoning that is only valid... nothing except whether or not I BELIEVE it.

Cool... where is this delicious unicorn, and can I have mine with some snazzberry jam, and a side of some healthy fast food?

How do you know you're not wrong? What are these "answers" that you have?

What the fuck is a creative singularity?
Hehe
It's a singularity with extra explanatory powers
AKA: creator god. Like Alice if she only had a planet-sized paintbrush.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
