Indeed, i'm sure everyone on the planet has moments of irrationality regardless of their knowledge base or intellect.
Being intelligent presupposes rationality. Moments of irrationality does entail being irrational overall.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
