Well, for techniques to be more than TAPs, they have to kind of branch, don’t they? In which case there has to be an (internally natural) hierarchy of concepts, which I am afraid to build, because for me “rationality techniques” as presented here are phenomenological observations. Or stop-signs.

I don’t like the concept of “fully general counter-argument”, for example, and I try to make do without it. If we have “fully general counter-arguments”, then we have “fully general supporting arguments” and “fully general misses” etc. I always try to treat someone’s counter-argument as not fully-general unless we both understand it so; because for some reason they view it as the thing to say. It might be an irrelevant reason, but very many are, and the world keeps spinning.
Curiosity is just that—if you are asking whether being told about rationality helps develop curiosity under some conditions, then maybe we shouldn’t talk about all “rationality techniques”, because they as a whole are not aimed at developing curiosity. Choose some.
