This is a common and understandable complaint. If you will read again,
you will see I am not challenging reason globally, only in regards to those tasks where it's relevance and qualifications have not been demonstrated.

Is reason a great tool for building bridges? Yes, we have thousands of standing bridges as proof.

Are the rule of human reason binding on all reality? Nobody knows. We don't even know what "all of reality" refers to.
