Indeed - that seems to me like a problem. I am oft reminded of the unemployment worker in History of the World: Part I... "Occupation?" "Did you create an AI last week?" "Did you try to create an AI last week?"
Of course, that's not the end of the story, and nobody would expect a job like that to be the sort of thing you can just do. But without demonstrated efficacy, what's the difference between this "Art" and pseudoscience?
For an art of rationality to even mean anything, it must have predictable, demonstrable results.
I agree with everything in your post except the last sentence. That's what a science must have to be meaningful.
What I want to know is why there's so little interest in developing a science of rationality.
