I wonder if this means we should place more weight on opinions that don't easily compress onto this contrarianism axis, since they're less likely to be rooted in signalling/group affiliations, and more likely to have a non-trivial amount of thought put into them.
Another thing to take away from this is that we should be wary of any system that categorizes opinions based on sociology rather than direct measures of their actual truth. Contrarians and Meta-Contrarians both have similar explanations of why they go for their levels, by pointing out the flaws with the lower level.
