I think there's two different definitions of "rational" at play here. 
You seem to use the one relating to logical consistency, where as 
somebody seems to use it more in the economic sense:

In this case "rational" is more of a synonym from "greedy" of "selfish" 
(only less of a loaded term), which seems to be the most natural way of 
interpreting his use of the word.
