Those "experts" who do these studies about "rationality" and how we all lack that trait probably don't run their lives any better than the rest of us slobs. I wonder sometimes whether the "notable quotable" folks beat their wives, drink/drug excessively, abuse children, drive recklessly, smoke cigarettes, act rudely to others, etc., and whether, with all that wisdom, they ever reach in their pockets to actually help anyone less fortunate.
