And I don't think many of us write with the amount of care it takes to make sure the words we use are taken in exactly the way we mean them. It would be too much work to do that especially on a site where we are all just enjoying ourselves. But this just shows how rich language is (or can be... sometimes I think we forget that words have lots of meanings). And things like culture, gender, and age can just add to how we imbue words with meaning. Once I got my head past my reaction to what you were trying to say (or what I thought you were trying to say), it helped focus my response. And I think we reached a sort of mutual understanding - in terms of language and terminology, anyhow. :-) cheers.

It's possible there is a cultural context to terms like 'irrationality' ...
