What about this? Do you not count this because you were sleepy at the time, because it was a minor incident, or what?
(Also, I did not go through your comments to find that. Just thought I'd point that out because of shminux's comment.)
I don't remember the experience, but it sounds like a collection of absent-minded system 1 responses that build on each other, there doesn't appear to be a preferred direction to them. This is also the characterization from the comment itself:
As I understand, "rationalization" refers to something like optimization of thoughts in the direction of a preferred conclusion, not to any kind of thinking under a misconception. If I believe something wrong, of course I'll be building on the wrong thing and making further wrong conclusions, until I notice that it's wrong.
