You may ALSO think that your conclusion is a correct one, but sometimes after you go through the reflection process, you find that a step was made in error - a big reason why "explaining", in this context, is a far better thing than "justifying".You might also review your steps when justifying, but the end goal is to prove yourself correct, whereas explaining, the end goal is the review-journey itself. It's possible to do both at once, but they are two different things. There's crossover, which is why you have them jumbled, but the distinction is very important.</blockquote>
