“if your premises are flawed, then no matter how logical your cause and effect thought processes are, your conclusions cannot help but be irrational. As they say in computer programing, junk in, junk out”

I think you’re confusing “irrational” with “wrong.” Rationality is all about following rules. Rationality is form, not content. Plug

Yes, but assuming “wrong” premises isn’t following the rules and so is therefore irrational.
