Rationality is the art of thinking in ways that result in accurate beliefs and good decisions.
There are discussion ending methods which are compatible with this and others which aren’t. The same goes for other rationality issues like finding out if you’re mistaken, biases being found instead of hidden, etc. What is the type error?
Also I hereby grant you and everyone else unlimited license to give me advice.
Mmm, something like using “rational” to really mean “best” or “optimal”. Rationality is about a process, not an outcome, even if it claims to make particular promises on the quality of the outcome.

I was using rationality in the same way you normally do – about a process, not about best or optimal. I don’t know why you read it otherwise.
