For instance, if a pizza delivery truck passes your house four times in ten minutes, is the driver more likely to be (a) lost or (b) a government agent trying to track you down by the coded theta waves emanating from the alien implant in your brain?
A rational person might answer with: "The driver is lost"
An irrational person might answer with, "Purple Twinkies barking like transistors at Korean pumpkin fur".

That is a crap example
A person who thinks along the lines of (b), could rationally think that the alien's theta wave detector is not working correctly, as they should have found you the first time around.
The problem is that if your premise/assumptions are incorrect you can logically conclude anything.
To reach correct conclusions, you must have correct (and possible unprovable assumptions) and rational deduction/reasoning.
In the absolute sense not as easy as it sounds
