Or are you just making a more general statement that a system can be irrational while demonstrating above average rationality?

Yes, this.

On an arbitrary scale I just made up, below 100 degrees of rationality is "irrational", and 0 degrees of rationality is "ordinary". 50 is extraordinarily rational and yet irrational.
