By that standard, basically nobody is smart because practically every person is irrational about something.

I mean, I try not to be, but let's be honest—I wouldn't know if I was.

Rationality (or at least the application of) is a Float, not a Boolean. Humans are just <str>built</str>evolved that way I guess. Though; imagine a human being that was completely rational. He would be thoroughly humourless and unappetising. I imagine he'd call himself Richard Dawkins or something ridiculous like that.
