Organization and Focus.
One important aspect of this common sense approach is that thought be focused on what is important and organized in the sense that reasoning is "a prori."  In philosophy, a priori (Latin for "from the earlier") refers to knowledge or justification that is independent of experience.  It is reasoning from cause to effect.
If something is known a priori, you do not need to look at the physical world, conduct an experiment, or gather empirical evidence to know it is true; you can arrive at the conclusion through pure reason alone.  This is not to say that physical evidence, as presented in a criminal trial, is ignored.  Rather what is being considered is the manner in which one thinks about the evidence.
