Prefacing a post with the word "rational" does not magically make it on-topic. The space of topics appropriate for discussion is (and should be) quite large, but I believe this lies outside it.
I'm pretty certain that was the joke.
Why do you think this post is a joke?
Because a lot of things get discussed here with a superfluous "rational" or "rationalist" attached. Of course the joke would have been much better if the author had written a longwinded article with lots of citations and math involving Bayes' Theorem and UDT, and as it is it probably deserves to be in the negative.
On the other hand, maybe they really just did want to remove warts (rationally, of course.) It's a crazy world out there!
And is generally not helpful.
