Logical people aren't just irrational emotional people underneath who use logic when it's easy. I think really logical people fall back on that as their core behavior, even under stress. That's their nature.
Logic isn't something we abandon under stress, it's something we cling too even tighter because that's when you need it the most. I've had jobs where lives literally hung in the balance; extreme stress. It only made me more rational and less emotional, that's how you cope.
