How can one work around 5. without employing Dark Arts to sanitize the feelings accompanying a conclusion? Is it even possible?
Yes if you want to manage your image optimally you need to lie or spin the truth. Either to yourself or to others.
Can or should we talk about this and try to find and catalogue ways to do this since many of us are not skilled at social interactions (higher than average self identified non-neurotypicals visit LW)?
Probably a good idea but I would not even bother trying to have such discussion on lesswrong. The pressure to signal naive morality in that kind of area is just far too strong.
A rational discussion about how to sanitize bad signals sent by some rationalist discussions or conclusions, can’t be carried out effectively because of the bad signals that it sends. However this can be pointed out since it happens to send good signals.

Humans are funny aren’t we?
I’d be interested to see you give it a shot.
I’m afraid I reached the limits of my patience even in this brief discussion. :)
