We don’t limit our pool of potential solutions to our problems to solutions “validated” by double blinded placebo controlled trials in any other aspect of life, because it isn’t rational to do so.
Wrong. We don’t do it because either there are no publications that answer our questions, so that we have to use something else, or because we have a more convenient method that works. Please don’t appeal to “rationality”.

I don’t want to argue about who “we” is. I don’t so limit myself. YMMV.
I accurately identified a failing strategy of finding solutions. I see no reason not to accurately identify a failure in rationality as such, and every reason to do so.
