Word is not an absolute ruler. Suppose when I said in front of my girlfriend that' I love you', all I meant was 'I love her, up till then'. But she thought 'I love her, for the rest of my life'. So when I said good-bye to her after I said I love her, she can't blame me for my saying previously that I love her.
Word is not absolute but just a convenient tool, to back our idea at the moment we utter.
Rational is the term in logics. If it's consistent, we say it's rational. Good or bad is the term to measure a moral value. Rational things ought to be morally good, probably. But the real world we live is very different from this theoretical ideal. I suggest you try to interpret any word in the context. Any same word is used very differently. The word in language is not the same as the sign in mathematics.
