It is puzzling when it discusses irrationality of others. Because there is no agency or means to force others to be rational.

I think there's a hope that we'll find ways of persuading others. So it's worth tossing ideas around just on the offchance we'll find new and more potent tools for that purpose.

It also helps us feel better about our own choice ;)
