Maybe it’s because we’re good at following instructions—instructions on how to be rational.
What if the instructions say, loosely speaking, “observe, plan, act, measure, adapt”?
If the instructions say that, and people don’t follow the “measure, adapt” part, then they’re not good at following instructions.
If the instructions don’t say that, then they’re lousy instructions.
Do you intend this in the sense of taking ideas seriously? I would agree that such an ability merits its own axis.

Ya got me. I can’t support this as a claim. Consider it a hypothesis.
