JerTheRipper··on Math Bite: Irrationality of √m (1999)
I'm trying to work this out in my head, but I believe that this holds if m is a rational such that its numerator and denominator are not both perfect squares (e.g., √(2/3) is irrational but √(4/9) is rational). Am I wrong?

It depends on what you're looking for. If you're worried about security you probably want it to fail off instead of on.
