I certainly considered that possibility and then rejected it. (If there are more 2 regular commenters here who think that rationality guarantees correctness and will solve all of their lives problems, I will buy a hat and then eat it).
Whether rationality guarantees correctness depends on how one defines “rationality” and “correctness”. Perfect rationality, by most definitions, would guarantee correctness of process. But one aspect of humans’ irrationality is that they tend to focus on results, and think of something as “wrong” simply because a different strategy would have been superior in a particular case.
