Keith, if you still didn't understood my message, let me elaborate.
1. All your ideas/arguments about techical issues is highly rational.
2. But instead of using power of arguments, and looking for
compomises, you choosen to fight with everyone,
defending your position, up to the point, that it is not really
matters, who is right or wrong , and in what they right or wrong.
You just subbornly keep fueling a conflict, which nobody, except you
want to have. This is irrational.

Here the formula, which you should learn:
rational*1000000^100000 + irrational / (100000^100000) = irrational.
