Being wrong is compatible with two hypotheses: 1. GPT does not reason and so correct answers are coincidence and happen no more than chance, 2. GPT reasons badly, which means it should still do better than chance.
We have ample evidence that GPT does better than chance, therefore GPT does reason, it just makes plenty of mistakes.
