Why not? It’s someone empirically investigating their beliefs and how well their terminology cuts reality at the joints, doesn’t get much more rationalist than that. Not every post has to be at the highest level of rigor or about topics of the gravest importance(especially since it’s currently a ‘personal blog post’, not frontpage)
While investigative posts, especially ones where someone updated during the investigation, are good, I think there wasn’t enough content in there. But on reflection, I think my initial comment was wrong. For one, shortform would be a good place for this. For another, part of my intent with the initial comment was “whilst this is not what I read the front page for, it was pretty good.”
