I think it also depends on what fully reasoned means. Most adults in their 20's make VERY different decisions than they would make in their 40's. 20 extra years of adult experience makes a lot of difference. And most 20 years olds don't make what I would consider to be "well reasoned decisions," but then most 40 years olds don't make those kind of decisions either. Most people can't reason, EVER. Most people don't really think about their decisions, they react emotionally, and they never meaningfully evaluate their mistakes.

Possibly a bit less research and a bit more common sense are called for.

Pity that you lack both.

You are mixing up choice with decision making.

Your five year old can make choices.

So can the newborn; it chooses whether to suck its thumb or its toe.

Neither makes decisions.
