The irrational thing would be to have no reason to believe in something and believe it anyway.
Why are you finding this so hard to understand?
"As far as you can tell" is your logical, reasonable, rational, reason to be an A.
So, If someone says, "as far as I can tell no logical rational reasonable reason to be an A exists."
Do you agree that is a rational logical reason to not be an A?
( Reason to be an A) So far, no G vs (Reason to not be an A) So far, no logical reason to be an A
It seems that "so far as I can tell" reasoning is an irrational reason for being an A yet it is believed anyway....
Either (A) vs (not A). If you hold to one or the other what is the rational reason behind that view.
As far as some people can tel; the earth is flat...
