Well if we develop rationality tests, then you should rely on the teachers who help their students do better on tests. And if you can’t develop tests, then I don’t see why you’d think you had evidence that any particular person was good at teaching rationality. Relying on their ability to do something useful as a predictor of their ability to teach rationality seems nearly as bad as relying on their publication record, or their IQ, or wealth, etc. I say focus on developing tests.
