I don't see how any of that negates the idea of rational control in the sense that we commonly understand it. The series of physical events in the brain that lead to a decision are not subject to an out of band process that can override the final conclusion; it doesn't seem surprising that there is a delay between the unconscious processes that underpin our rational thoughts and the eventual culmination of a decision, IMO the opposite would actually be the surprising result (i.e. our conscious mind is not a supervenient product of our unconscious brain and supporting biological processes)
