Premises are often seen as the atomic level detail or granularity of our reasoning. Might be better seen as frameworks: initial leads, best guesses, traditional routines and innate inclinations. The use of logic is no guarantee one has reasoned into a good frame. Not even being aware of one's POV in framing always helps.... (in any case the logicks of crafting in minecraft rarely work outside the game).

In many cases, we don't even consciously reason a priori. We start with a conclusion and then construct reasoning for said conclusion. This doesn't mean such reasoning was absent, just that it wasn't consciously derived a priori, instead being the result of more intuitive decision making.
