Yeah. Though you might be able to re-phrase the reasoning to turn it into one of the others?
EDIT: in more detail, it’s something like this. I have a whole bunch of ways of reasoning, and can use many of them to examine the others. And they all generally agree, so it seems fine. (Sean Carrol says this.) You can’t use completely broken reasoning to figure the world out. But if you start with partially broken reasoning, you can bootstrap your way to better and better reasoning. (Yudkowski says this.)
The main point is that I have been convinced by the reasoning in my previous comment and others that a search for an Ultimate Justification is fruitless, and have adjusted my expectations accordingly. When your intuitions don’t match reality, you need to update your intuitions.

Indefinitely? I agree that you can generally do better, but that doesn’t mean you can hit Absolute Truth...
Which is the trustworthy one? I’m guessing circular reasoning.
