LW has definitely made me more rational. My first thought while reading this article was; Ah, but any attempt to regulate necessarily make things worse! But then I caught myself; Wait, that’s not why you’re against it. You’re against regulation because you believe the initiation of the use of force is immoral. Then I evaluated it from that standpoint.

Being rational does not mean that you “improve” your arguments but never change the bottom line.
(Just saying, I’m not sure if you meant it that way.)
Completely understood. This was about internal honesty.
