I think it should at least mention prominently that there is a field that might be called “theory of rationality” and perhaps subdivided into “theory of ideal agents” and “theory of flawed agents”, and we still know very little about these subjects (the latter even less than the former), and as a result we have little theoretical guidance for the practical work.
I’m tempted to further say that work on theory should take precedence over work on practice at this point, but that’s probably just my personal bias speaking. In any case people will mostly work on what they intuitively think is interesting or important, so I just want to make sure that people who are interested in “rationality” know that there are lots of theoretical problems that they might consider interesting or important.
