In summary, "For some reason" is a phrase used to describe a situation or action that is not easily explained. It suggests that there is a reason for something, but it is not immediately apparent. It is often used when trying to explain unexpected behavior or actions. While similar to "For some unknown reason," it implies that there is a reason, but it may not be obvious. People may use this phrase because they are unsure of the exact reason, do not want to disclose it, or are not sure how to explain something. To avoid using it in writing, be more specific and provide clear explanations with descriptive language and evidence. If unsure of the reason, it is best to state so directly rather than using a vague phrase.

Concerning color addition, half the people are right.
Concerning color subtraction, the other half are right.
So, they're all right, right?
