Very good, except that the ultra-rationalist can also keep going, going, going, in the belief that the irrational will eventually succumb to reasoning. What such a person lacks is the rationalist view that you can lead a horse to the water, but you can’t make it drink. Incidentally, on the topic of “going, going, going”, have you heard about the three brothers who played rugby together for Northland (then North Auckland) in the late 60s and early 70s?
