Why would "reasoning" be an emergent property of prediction?
Predict multiple outcomes, induct across them, refine.
There's a lot of reasoning in the training data.
How do you predict without reasoning?
Where is the reasoning in linear regression?
Where is the reasoning in synaptic transmission?
There isn't, which is exactly the point: we do not yet understand the fundamentals behind reasoning.
Don’t we? We can build something which has all the output associated with reasoning.
I’d say we’ve figured out the fundamentals behind reasoning.

Sure. A photocopier fed with a maths paper.
Flip a coin.
