It is an answer short on patience, but it was a comment short on insight. In response to a post relayed in short as: ‘The common definition of rationality is stupid. Here is a new proposal that is a basic tenet of most of my writing. (Implicitly, keep this in mind when you see me talk about rationality.)‘, the poster simply added ‘Well, I think the original definition of rationality is right, and I’ve said this before.’
The inciting comment seems just like the responses (on Fark, HNews, etc.) to Pullum’s article about Strunk & White- people who like what they learned flatly deny any counterargument.
