These levels might represent levels in ‘awesomeness’ but they don’t appear to represent levels of rationality.
It is certainly possible to be remarkably rational and not produce a great marvel of understanding. I do not think that producing such a work even proves that one is especially rational. It indicance they are Brilliant, persistent, well resourced and in the right place at the right time while somewhat correlating with rationality.
That said, I am comfortable with the word ‘rationalist’ largely to the extent that it isn’t used often. Ascribing meaning to it beyond ‘one who strives for rational thoughts or behavior’ just doesn’t appeal to me.
