Can you see what an absurdly implausible scenario you must use as a ladder to demonstrate rationality as a liability? Rather than being a strike against strict adherence to reality. The fact that we have to stretch so hard to paint it this way, further legitimizes the pursuit of rationality.
Except I happen to, as far as I can tell, be in that "implausible" scenario IRL, or at least an isomorphic one.

If continuing the discussion becomes impractical, that means you win at open threads; a celebratory top-level post on the topic is traditional.
