Ad hoc rationalizations as happy accident, well established as rigorous application of process. Deemed so afterward, vs pursued explicitly from the outset.
Very very little in our lives falls in the latter category, or so it seems to me in my experience. Is that what we’re trying to discuss ( or part of it) with whatever the difference is between us and full rationality?
If so, I can see us being a whole lot better and a whole lot worse. More competent in explicitly pursuing some goal, whatever that goal may be.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
