Good point. I guess physicists don’t spend much time arguing what a ‘real electron’ is, but once you start talking about abstract ideas...
Considerable efforts have been made here to have a stable meaning for rationality. I think it’s worked.
It’s a stable meaning...so maybe that just forestalls the argument until Less Wrongian rationalists meet other rationalists!
