Markets (and decisions in general) are hugely influenced by emotions. We are far far away from having anything scientific of much practical importance in these areas. Anyone deluding oneself with an idea of a rational market is well, delusional.

The Lean Startup has nothing to do with rational markets. It is about using the scientific method to acquire and interpret information from the market. This does not presuppose the market is rational in the way (some) economics does.
