Why "reason's"? Contraction of "reason is"?

I guess it is. It's from the old forum... well this one is from my memory because it had been deleted long ago, but I remember it well.
I should add more sentences from the good old forum. I wish they would be more actively translated. There are a lot of good words in the logs and memories, when being loquacious and fanciful was a good form. The former is still good form, but the chit-chat's mostly gone.

Yes, you're right (and this sentence came from a non-native speaker, so I'm not contesting).
