The question isn't "will studying and honing your rationality make you a better rationalist?" Obviously it will. Likewise practicing and refining your golf swing will probably make you a better golfer; but that's not analogous to Yvain's point at all.
The real question is whether or not becoming a better rationalist will likely make you more successful.
