It is incoherent to expect me to be able to name people who disagree with me reasonably on issues & values. When I find someone's objection to my reasoning reasonable, I change my own mind on the issue & we are no longer in disagreement.

Similarly, I follow people because I admire their reasoning but then find myself in disagreement with one idea of theirs - God exists, national healthcare is a bad idea, Brexit is a good idea. I still think of them as reasonable but with some exceptions. This is almost everyone

I think it's rather an issue of personal values and beliefs than reason. For example: You: "Pork should never be eaten raw, bc it can contain parasites." Me: "That is a reasonable argument, but I disagree with you bc I think mett (raw pork) is delicious."

After that exchange, I'm in disagreement with you, but I still think you make reasonable arguments that deserve consideration without changing my position on the topic at all.

Yes, that's an entirely different thing. I wish I'd never brought this up now.

I imagine that if I said that you are reasonable, you'd take it personally and be pleased. If I said you were wrong, you wouldn't take it personally and be distressed. That's not most of us, unfortunately.

They can mean something like 'given your starting assumption (s), I see how you got there,' but mostly anymore I think 'i disagree but you are reasonable' means 'oh gosh, somebody neither a psychopath or garden variety insane! What a relief.'
