'You are wrong but reasonable' does not make any sense. If you think someone has reached a false conclusion, you necessarily think something has gone wrong with their reasoning on this occasion. If we have the same understanding of 'reasonable' as 'well-reasoned.'

If we just mean 'sincere' or 'polite' or 'moderate,' better to say that than 'reasonable' which should really be reserved for an effective use of reason. I admit to not always doing this in general conversation which is not about evaluating arguments.

Got caught up a little bit between (logic) reasoning and the, to me, more subjective "being reasonable". I can work with this. As you were. :)

People often use "reasonable" to mean "not an asshole" or "not emotionally or otherwise motivated." They mean, somebody who is open to considering alternatives. Words are are more about usage than meaning, I think.

As in, how words are used determine their meaning.
