Math and Logic is just low-dimensional symbol manipulation that computers can easily do. You can throw data at them and they’ll show you theories that involve vectors of 42,000 variables while Isaac Newton had 4 and Einstein had 7 with Levi-Civita calculus. In short, what you consider “reasoning”, while beautiful in its simplicity, is nevertheless crude approximations to complex systems, such as linear regression or least squares.
