That’s exactly what tabooing “rationality” does—with the added benefit of bringing all definitions out into the open. The conventional definition of rationality should be as explicit as idiosyncratic definitions. Furthermore, people in general are bad at noticing when they have idiosyncratic ideas and tend to assume everyone uses words in the same way they do.
Very good idea. Too many here seem to have idiosyncratic definitions of these terms.
Wouldn’t it be better if people with idiosyncratic definitions just made clear what they were?
