It doesn't really have the form of a "rationality quote". It's too long to be quotable, not directly bearing on rationality, and doesn't give rationality-warm-fuzzies like "that which can be destroyed by the truth should be".

That said, probably yes.

I think it is hard to dispute that several such statements have been upvoted in recent rationality quote threads.
