I agree with your model of aaronsw, and think wedrifid's comments are over the top. But wedrifid is surely dead right about one important thing: aaronsw presented his article as "here is a general point about rationality, and I find that I have to think up some examples so here they are ..." but it's extremely obvious (especially if you look at a few of his other recent articles and comments) that that's simply dishonest: he started with the examples and fitted the general point about rationality around them.
(I have no idea what sort of process would make someone as smart as aaronsw think that was a good approach.)
