Not sure about rationality, but blogging certainly makes you better at writing what your audience wants. That’s not always a good thing though. I’m pretty sure Scott’s audience has made him more political, he wasn’t that way before. It’s like one of those pranks where all students agree to act attentive when the professor walks right and act distracted when the professor walks left, so by the end of the lecture the professor is huddled in the right corner without knowing why. A better test of rationality would be noticing when it happens to you :-)

Never heard of a prank like this, this sound weird.
