Of course not, but 'rationality' feels like a toolbox to me, and 'rationalism' feels like a collection of beliefs. I don't want to give people the impression that I believe something because it's part of rationalism, and I think it's right because rationalism said so.
It was mostly just a feeling, though, that strongly agreed with the concerns Vladimir_Nesov expressed.
