Fred makes a good point about "rationality".  It seems to me that as a scientific
category, <rationality> leaves much to be desired; it is little more than a normative
label that economists assign to behaviour that validates their propositions and withhold
from behavior that does not. It's really not very useful for explaining what people
actually do.
