These scientists argue that rationalizing causes one to learn less rather than learn more from their mistakes, and they criticize the hypothesis that rationalization evolved as a means of social manipulation by noting that if rational arguments were deceptive, there would be no evolutionary chance for breeding individuals that responded to the arguments and therefore making them ineffective and not capable of being selected for by evolution.
