Reasonability

Reasonability refers to the idea of being fair and making sure things make sense. Let's think of an example to help understand it better.

Let's say you and I both want to trade our toys. I have a toy car, and you have a stuffed animal. We both think the toy we want to trade is really special and valuable. So, we sit down and try to figure out what a fair trade would be.

To decide what is reasonable, we need to think about a few things. First, we need to look at the toy car and the stuffed animal and see what they are worth. Maybe the toy car is newer and works really well, while the stuffed animal is getting a bit old and has a few tears. This means the toy car might be more valuable than the stuffed animal.

Next, we need to think about how much we want to trade. If I really, really love your stuffed animal and I'm willing to give away my toy car for it, it might make sense. But if I only sort of like your stuffed animal and don't really want it that much, maybe the trade wouldn't be reasonable.

Finally, we need to think about how we both feel about the trade. If I'm really happy with the stuffed animal and you're really happy with the toy car, then the trade is fair and reasonable. But if one of us feels like we're getting a bad deal and aren't happy with the trade, then it's not reasonable.

So, being reasonable means thinking about what things are worth, how much we want to trade, and making sure both people are happy with the result. It's all about being fair and making sense.
