Reflecting reality is different from being rational. It's related to the old idea that true knowledge is believing the right thing for the right reason. The problem is that if your reasoning process is incorrect, what you believe is independent of reality, so whether you believe the truth is mostly random. Your opponents have equally strong (i.e. not) reasons to believe what they do. You should aim to do better.
