Earlier:

What I want to know is why there's so little interest in developing a science of rationality.

Here:

Why isn't this forum more interested in engineering the aspect of human cognition we call rationality?

You are begging too many questions, Annoyance. This forum is interested in both science and practical skill ("engineering") or rationality. It's just not at all clear how to approach this problem. Since there were numerous posts concerned with e.g. testing of people/skills/wins, your continued provocations implying that we are not interested in reasonable things are just obnoxious lies.

It is a failing of this community that your comments restating claims like this are not voted down to minus infinity.

You are begging too many questions

I don't think this means anything. Surely someone begging the question is committing a single fallacy, and there's usually only about one opportunity for it in a simple argument - do you mean he's assuming several different things that he's setting out to prove? You didn't even cite an argument above.
