"Your definition appears indefensible to me - that isn't a useful definition of what rationality is. "

It both conveys what the generally-recognized meaning is, and describes a very useful concept that is fundamental to all sorts of processes.

I can only conclude that I don't understand what you mean by 'useful', and I see no benefit to learning what you men.
