I agree with the first and third bullet points, but could you please elaborate on what you mean by the second one?
Also, I would like to add that we usually divide rationality into epistemic rationality and instrumental rationality, as described in What Do We Mean By “Rationality”? So whichever name we pick, it has to describe both branches, which is tricky. Maybe we should ask ourselves what the connection is between the two, and focus on that?

Just that we shouldn’t call it “uber-better-than-everyone-else-ism” or the “FindTheRightAnswer™ method” or, you know, something silly like that. (Though what I actually had in mind when I wrote that bullet point was Francis Bacon’s “idols of the marketplace” and the like.)
