But using rationality makes you a rationalist, in the same way that using science makes you a scientist.
This is like saying that because an insectivore eats insects, a locavore must eat locations (like some sort of kaiju), ignoring the fact that the word is used to mean “person who eats locally grown food”. Words have meanings based on things other than their etymology and grammatical construction.

Acknowledged. However, I think it’s a bad idea to make ‘rationalist’ mean something other than “one who consistently uses rationality”.
I don’t like ‘locavore’.
