On a related note, if the students of a rationality teacher routinely produce more rational students, this is evidence that they can recognize and teach rationality to others.
This does not necessarily mean they are good at applying rationality in their everyday lives, which goes somewhat against Eliezer’s point that someone respected as a good teacher should also be respected for what they do outside teaching.
So, what this means is that there should be two categories for respect related to this: One for ability to teach and train others in rationality, and another for how they use rationality in their life.
