I haven’t heard a nonrationalist say “what you are saying sounds smart but I don’t know enough about the topic to evaluate your argument, so I won’t let myself get convinced” but have heard that from a rationalist (as in someone coming to the LessWrong community weekend).
It’s not rational to let yourself be argued into anything when faced with a powerful and potentially manipulative actor.
