If you're talking about kyle vs steemsports, I would say that it's true that we often object to things and justify it any way we can, using rational arguments if it makes sense to do so. So I think the idea of "acting irrationally" is a red herring, it's whether or not the arguments (re: objections) are true, rational and relevant, i.e. that they stand.

I'm not talking about any individual - I'm talking about how we all believe we are rational after the fact. I would recommend listening to the James Altucher Podcast it is episode 200. We make up our minds based on mostly emotional impulses and make up logical reasons to back them up later.
I think I will listen to that, thanks. To respond for the moment, I think that's a bit evasive, I don't believe you make that statement without reference to any individual. Also "emotional impulses" could be understood to undermine human decision making a bit too generally here. From what I currently know, the emotional aspect (I say think instead of impulse) isn't majorly guiding. But I may stand to be corrected.
