reason works best when people argue with each other rather than reason alone, and that we evaluate arguments more objectively than we make them -> mind blown
this makes sense. One more to add : typical discussions tend to ignore kinaesthetic reasoning, as most forms of it are ill adapted to university and thus tend not to be present in initial samples.
I might be using terms wrong. But the kind of thinking useful in fixing cars is not a kind of reasoning that is common in first year university - or at least not discussions at that level. It's entirely probable I'm missing a whole layer, but I find that there's a hole in discussions about reason and perspective that misses a lot of people that are family. Oh and me, largely. I spent enough time wrangling wrenches, spinning spanners and driving forklifts....
Btw : I suspect more of the discussion along the lines of the attached article would remedy said hole. It's asking the right questions for a change that people like I knew a lot of my life could better answer.

Humans don't have "Reason". They have "Reasons", and it is difficult to construct reason on top of this.
