Deciding whether a rule "works" based on whether it usually brings about good consequences, and following the rules that do and calling that "right", is called rule consequentialism, not deontology.
That's if you do it consciously, which I wasn't suggesting. My suggestion was that this would be a mainly unconscious process, similar to the process of picking up any other deeply-rooted preference during childhood / young age.
