I don't think you can say that reasoning is quite true or false. The main thing about that argument is it compares apples and oranges. Human beings construct beliefs about each other's processes and provide reasons for actions which are far from scientifically accurate but which are crucial for us to operate together as a species - and our ability to operate together as a species has been key to our success, despite the many limits we have to our ability to operate.
Which is to say we don't experience each other as black boxes (regardless of whether we really are these). We experience each are partial unknowns - people often do unexpected things but we often construct plausible after-the-fact explanations and those who consisting do things without any explanation make us nervous.
