I see the logic of both men, I am yet undecided as to with whom I side. Regardless, I respect both for being extremely civil about their argument and even humorous with each other. Keep up the good work.

I don't think Ariely is saying that we NEVER act rationally. I think he is saying we don't behave rationally nearly enough. Not enough to bank our entire economy on it. (bad pun)

Loved the cardboard head.
