I see I still wasn't clear on this. I was not talking about being right for the wrong reason.
Reasoning is hard. It seems easier when you like where it is going, but sometimes you quite clearly feel that you are entering a ugh field, you really don't want to do this, it suddenly seems harder. And because its harder sometimes you don't go through with it or botch the process by being sloppy.
That is an interesting observation. It does seem plausible. I am still a little reluctant to call it more rational given that it could be said to be describing the aetiology of a particular kind of irrational bias. Yet at the same time I can accept it as reasonable conclusion when coming from a certain way of modelling and evaluating the thinking process.
