Reasoning can be defined in the abstract. Knowledge cannot.

For example, If I need A & B | D & E to get C I can reason that if I have B and want C, I need A or D & E.

Once I aquired this reasoning skill, I can apply it to any kind of "bool-sequence X required for Y" situation, regardless of what specificly X and Y are, or how many entities X encompasses.

Whereas if I know that a rocket engine requires an oxygen/methane mix to function, I cannot transfer that to the knowledge that I need a raincoat or umbrealla in order to avoid getting wet in the rain.
