The concept that "I was acting rationally" isn't an excuse for predictably failing to maximize utility. I used to be a two-boxer on Newcomb's Problem; more practically, I believed that certain social situations were inherently biased against rational people.
I must not be a very good rationalist, because I find it blindingly obvious that if I believe one of two choices will have a better outcome, I should make that choice. :)
