for the curious, from Merriam Webster dictionary:

rational 1 a - having reason or understanding

b: relating to, based on, or agreeable to reason : reasonable

From American Heritage dictionary:

rational

1. Having or exercising the ability to reason

2. Consistent with or based on reason or good judgment; logical or sensible.

It creates misunderstanding to choose to create a differentiation between two words that most people view as synonymous.
