The opposite of 'reason' is unreasonable or irrational. I don't think being close to anything means one is going to be unreasonable or irrational and I'm not ready to say Christopher, et. al. has been either.
They are just coming from a different perspective or looking at things in a different context than someone who is 'more distant'.
I can appreciate, understand, and respect someone close to and someone distant to the issues. But I'm not so comfortable using 'more reasoned' to describe either side.

It's possible there is a cultural context to terms like 'irrationality' ...
