Not so. I don’t need to simulate a hungry tiger in order to stay safely (and rationally) away from it, even though I don’t know the exact methods by which its brain will identify me as a tasty treat. If you think that one can’t “rationally” stay away from hungry tigers, then we’re using the word “rationally” vastly differently.
