One of the key things to recognize when considering rationality and reasonable behavior is that not everyone is reasonable.

Not only are some people often unreasonable, but nobody is always reasonable.

Every single one of us has flaws that can be exploited (on purpose or just by coincidence) to cause us to act unreasonably in some situations... even when we're fully aware of this fact and actively trying to correct for it.

Being reasonable even just most of the time is difficult work given all of the essentially hardwired flaws we are working against.
