"The assertion that there is irrational action is always rooted in an evaluation of a scale of values different from our own. Whoever says that irrationality plays a role in human action is merely saying that his fellow men behave in a way that he does not consider correct." -mises

That Mises was one clever monkey. Yes, rationality is relative. Which makes drawing utility functions harder.
