Believing this wasn’t rational. I didn’t take such basic steps as looking up the costs
Believing a proposition X with some probability, without checking it, isn’t irrational. I’m very confident that the core of the moon isn’t made of cheese, even though no one has ever checked that. The whole point of theorizing is to jump from a limited number of empirical observations to general statements about the world.
