Julian Orr's "Talking About Machines" describes in detail the *circumrational work* Xerox field repair technicians do to keep high-tech office machinery running.
Outstanding case study in how rationality works (and doesn't) in the real world.

Unfortunately, our brains have no rationality module which would enable us to think logically (“if we just put cognitive biases aside”).
To think logically, we have to use pencil and paper, or a computer.
