Applied rationality is the conscious method of selecting the best way for reaching the desired goal, including the use of a different method in cases where other methods are superior.
E.g.
An A. I. controlling a space ship will follow generally the best route it rationally calculates, but in a new, complex zone an otherwise inferior human pilot (or neural network) which is already well trained in that domain will be the better, hence it will rationally transfer control
It makes sense to calculate the trajectory of a ballistic missile before launching, but do not try to do the same when playing basketball
Okay, so my take on this:
