I think the article is describing some existing mechanisms rather than prescribing what a rationalist should be doing.
But rationalists should win.
Then I guess sometimes, ---ists (as I like to refer to them) should remain purposefully ignorant, in contradiction to the maxim—if, that is, they actually care about the advantages of ignorance.
