Interesting take on it. Presumably even if people are rational within the bounds of their knowledge, they may well gain knowledge at random (over hear a random conversation about X, learn it is a good product then make the rational descision to buy it) such that, overall, people could be modeled as acting randomly.
The question then: what differentiates those above the gas, and how do you get there?
... if we conceive of a being whose faculties are so sharpened that he can follow every molecule in its course, such a being, whose attributes are as essentially finite as our own, would be able to do what is impossible to us.
