You put quotes around reason like there is no such thing as reason.

Is the sum of 2+2 dependent on a persons interpretation or bias? If a person thinks that 2+2=5 does it equal 5 simply because they think that? Does this persons failing to reason correctly somehow invalidate that 2+2=4 ?

Does understanding why and where 2+2=4 comes from change 2+2=4 in any way?

I put quotes around “reason” because people irrationally put reason as their ultimate authority, when in reality, it’s simply an individual authority to the person doing the reasoning.
