The deduction was far too much of a leap, skipping over far too many logical steps that should have been there. But everyone knew that geniuses in the scientific world were always like this. When they made scientific conjectures, they were often wildly imaginative, even downright fantastical.
Certain ideas simply appeared in their minds, like a madman's sudden delusion. But sometimes, that was how science advanced. One step to the left made you a lunatic; one step to the right made you a genius.
Reed Richards was clearly the greatest genius among them. The difference between him and Tony Stark was that he was even more adventurous than Tony Stark.
Stark's scientific spirit was relatively dialectical. With sufficient information to support him, he weighed the balance between gains and risks before making the boldest possible move. Put simply, he still had morals and considered the consequences.
Reed Richards was the pure embodiment of "the bolder the man, the greater the yield." Whether he died did not matter. Whether the city was destroyed did not matter.

"They must have possessed a special smelting method. After 'Solid Darkness' fused with ordinary metals,
