Brain damaged patients, especially those with right hemisphere damage, can often not determine if parts of their body are even theirs. When put in front of a mirror and asked to move a limb, they might say something like "What do you mean 'move it'? It's not even mine," rationalizing away the obvious contradiction.
This might also be the same thing that happens when anyone rationalizes away any irrefutable facts. Rationalization could be a type of mental defect, or a type of illogical response used by those with mental irrationalities of all forms.
