I'd add that "reason" is here taken as something like "abstract deduction."
Far from reason and evidence being in conflict on occasion, the former strictly requires the latter.
Indeed, it is precisely when we start thinking of reason as disconnected from evidence that it turns into cleverness. Reason is attached to no particular ritual of cognition but rather to Winning.
