Rationality has an upper bound that gets hit when dealing with certain types of problems, while irrationality causes progress with those same types of problems.
That won Herbert Simon his Nobel Prize - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_A._Simon
Worth reading about his work (esp as more and more people wrangle with issues way past the bounds of a 6 inch chimp brain)
As we better understand the spectrum of personality types in the population and the problem types, we better understand who needs to be propped up for their irrationality and who does for their rationality.
Misunderstanding this is the reason for a whole lot of resource and energy wastage.
