Remarkable—a person, in the modern world, who seems to sincerely believe that introspection is a valid tool for increasing psychological awareness.
Hey Ian C.: try spending less time introspecting and more time reading histories of psychology. Your errors have already been anticipated, made, and corrected.
Your tone feels unfairly harsh, here. I’ve not really seen any particular evidence that introspection is a useless tool, and I read a fair amount of psychology. Aside from that, it doesn’t seem to actually address his core point, that reason is an art, not a science. It provides me no information to be told that these [unspecified] errors have already been corrected [in unspecified ways].
“unfairly harsh” and “doesn’t seem to actually address [the parent comment’s] core point” describes most of Caledonian’s comments. He was generally considered a troll, his style consisting mainly of making terse, condescending, often tangential remarks implying that he had vastly superior ideas and knowledge but not actually explaining any of it.

Thank you for taking the time to clarify that for me :)
