There is a difference between wanting not to be a cuckold and wanting not to believe that you are a cuckold. I want the former.
Presumably, if you are entertaining the hypothesis -- at least beyond a societal average, or some such -- there is a root problem already in play.
But yes, this does have some self-fulfilling aspects which make it rather hard to model well.
On introspection, this does agree with my preferences, yes.

I think we are using the world "rationalist" to cover too many meanings. One highly socially useful meaning for the word would be "person who can be reliably expected to speak the truth". Whatever you choose to call those, it'd certainly be useful to have some around for any society you'd like to build. We would want to have some tests to identify them.
