"I really don't care if you accept it or not. what i'm asking for is a reasonable standard to consider a belief rational. you can be irrational in your belief and I could care less."
And I am telling you why that standard has to be beyond reasonable. There's nothing irrational about it.
OK - lets try it this way:
A fish and chip shop moves into the building next to mine. I have some concerns over the impact on my health - I go and ask some questions, get answers and decide its OK.
A nuclear reactor moves into the building next to mine. I have some concerns over the impact on my health - I go and ask a lot of fucking questions - way more than I would for the shop and I expect a much better quality of answer.
And this is unreasonable to you?
