Potentially, yes. For every individual have the peculiar (unique) human ability to reason, well utilized each passing moment. That is to say, reasoning used appropriately as so long the individual bears fully his/her own responsibility and risk. That is to say differently, there is never a passing moment when an individual is not reasoning, therefore reasoning constantly.
Therefore, grossly oxymoronic to suggest a person, a member of the human specie, is unreasonable. For to reason is human (see Nos. 22-24,33,34 of my 10th book), or to be human is to reason, inconsequential thus a different matter whether the person's action or behavior are constructive or destructive.
If the individual is not fully bearing his/her own responsibility and risk per others (parents, charities, etc) or per government (welfare, subsidies, grants, loans, prohibitions, regulations, monetary expansion, etc), hence responsibility and risk mitigated else negated, then the individual ability to reason becomes misdirected, distorted, corrupted even perverted, in parallel to inciting covetousness towards presumption and arrogance for more of the same.
To logically, consistently define, to reason; the ability to economize, prioritize thus determine per propensity, prerogative, preference, necessity, pursuit, objective upon knowledge or information gathered by experience directly (life lived) or experience indirectly (reading, studying, etc).

The above text derived from my studies and notes as I begin to work on the opening statement, paragraph and page for 12th book project in progress; Propositions, Problems & Poems on the Peculiar Human ABILITY to REASON, Singular Human RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters.
