Yes, the answers seem obvious, depending on one's psychological state, but that is different from saying they are rational. Vulcan's question is whether someone can be 100% rational. If the entire edifice of thought is built on a necessarrily arbitrary choice, then it isnt truly rational....at least not all the way down. We take it on faith that reasoning works and we take it on faith that reality has an intelligible order. And that is before we even start to think about religion or science.
