I wonder if we should just use the word Bayesian and drop "Rationalist". It has an entrenched meaning opposite to empiricist.

I think the traditional "rationalist/empiricist" dichotomy is most likely a confusion. I don't mind at all if we end up helping to displace this terminology by spreading our sense of "rationalist".
