What’s exactly the next step after I notice I’m confused?
How? How? In retrospect it had been an obvious sort of idea as cunning plots went, but Granger wasn’t supposed to be cunning! She’d been too much of a Hufflepuff to use a Simple Strike Hex! Had Professor Quirrell been advising her despite his promise, or...
And then Draco finally did what he should have done much earlier.
What he should have done after the first time he met with Granger.
What Harry Potter had told him to do, trained him to do, and yet Harry had also warned Draco that it would take time to make his brain realize that the methods applied to real life, and Draco hadn’t understood that until today. He could have avoided every single one of his mistakes if he’d just applied the things Harry had already told him -
Draco said out loud, “I notice that I am confused.”
Your strength as a rationalist is your ability to be more confused by fiction than by reality… Draco was confused.
Therefore, something he believed was fiction.
Granger should not have been able to do all that. Therefore, she probably hadn’t. I promise not to help General Granger in any way that the two of you don’t know about. With sudden horrified realization, Draco swept papers out of the way, hunting through the mess on his desk, until he found it.And there it was.
In this short piece, Draco searches for some belief that he thought it was true but it couldn’t be because he was confused.
Is there any step by step or we just begin with it?

[I think my original response didn’t understand the question; it was about rationality techniques in general, not this scene.]
