Crocker’s rules are an oddity. The LW wiki’s declaration that they are “a rationality enhancing technique” strikes me as an example of Vulcan rationality.
Crocker’s rules exist for people who find politeness- in speaking or in hearing- difficult. They aren’t useful for all rationalists, but they’re a useful tool to have in your box.
