The thing about UX is that you don't need all that reasoning (so to speak). I would even say that if you're reasoning too much, then you're doing it wrong! You would be indulging in giving your opinion too much credit, instead of taking a truly user-centric approach. Really, there's no need to invoke usability in vain or talk about philosophical standpoints [1]. you just need to know what the users wants and needs, and then design fundamented on said wants and needs. Focusing on your philosophy or principles [2] is a sign that you don't care about your users, you just care about your ego.
