Humans act in order to alleviate a felt need. It doesn't matter if the actions are the best means, only that the acting person believes the action will achieve the desired result. People don't always know their true motivations and will usually just make up a story to justify their decision after the decision has already been made emotionally or intuitively. While this may seem to be an argument against human beings being rational actors, the key takeaway here is that what a human actor values is revealed through his actions rather than by what he says his values are.
