My psychiatrist has mentioned that it appears like it’s important for me that things are logical.

But it really started to rub me the wrong way because i know all people including myself are inherently illogical and make mistakes all the time.

The more accurate terminology i recently found is “intellectual integrity”. “Intellectual dishonesty” fits very well as a related term.
