I think it is not psychologically feasible. I find that whenever I actually argue, I always have the conclusion already written.
So, whenever you argue, you have never ever changed your beliefs? It is beliefs, after all, that are "the bottom line" that should be mutable by the evidence, yet are immutable if you write them down first and then go looking for justification. If so, I suggest you work on that - it is feasible, I promise.
In the spirit of contrarianism, I'd like to argue against The Bottom Line.
As I understand the post, its idea is that a rationalist should never "start with a bottom line and then fill out the arguments".
It sounds neat, but I think it is not psychologically feasible. I find that whenever I actually argue, I always have the conclusion already written. Without it, it is impossible to have any direction, and an argument without any direction does not go anywhere.
What actually happens is:
It is at the point 3 that the biases really struck. Motivated Stopping makes me stop checking too early, and Motivated Continuation makes me look for better arguments when defective ones are found for the conclusion I seek, but not for alternatives, resulting in Straw Men.
