   It has been recognized for ~20 years that perfect rationality is   
   an unattainable goal for AI, not just due to limited computational   
   resources but due also to limits on and uncertainties in agents'   
   knowledge of the world and of the effects of their actions.   
      
   The subject is well explored in the writings of Jon Doyle.
