Unaided and aided reasoning Humans reason about many things. Some things are more complex than other things. The more complex a thing is, the more probably it is that one will reason wrongly about it. For simple things the probability of unaided reasoning reasoning wrongly is not high. For complex things the probability of unaided reasoning making a fallacy is high.(Making a fallacy is used interchangeably with reasoning wrongly.) By unaided reasoning I mean informal, non-explicit, intuitive like reasoning. The more aided a reasoning is, the more tools are applied to help it. Such tools are e.g. clarity, explicitness and logic.
