Thank you very much for your thoughtful reply. I agree with you that point 2 can seem somewhat arbitrary, and I appreciate you highlighting that. For me, the emphasis is less on the success rate itself and more on the recognition of feasibility within limited choices.
Regarding point 3, my concern is that without some notion of benefit, emotional drives could easily be mistaken for rationality. Your example is a good one, but I would still argue that rationality requires an active choice — it is not only about feeling good, but about consciously deciding on a way to address a need or solve a problem.
