First, this is equivocating rationality and accuracy. Second, just because something results in more rational decisions, that doesn't mean that it is valid to characterize it as increasing rationality. If I observe a compass, and see that the direction is pointing coincides with the direction that Oregon is from my current location, it would be an error to conclude that compasses point towards Oregon.
