I doubt that DP (or any of us) are actually rational with regards to everything else either. I would also argue against any requirement that we had to be. The only thing that I think is crucial with regards to rationality is that we at least attempt to discern when we are not leveraging it, to be honest with ourselves and with others. It's much more important, for example - to be rational when you are trying to convey some bit of information to another person - than it is when you are generating your opinion of that information - the contents of the message.
If I say "all we need is love" -that's not strictly rational statement - but I can express my position as to why that's all we need in rational terms and whoever is listening will have a much better idea of exactly what I'm trying to convey. If I don't, then both my position and my explanation of it will lack meaning and coherency.
