You started with an intent to associate SIAI with self delusion and then tried to find a way to package it as some kind of rationality related general point.

No, I'd love another example to use so that people don't have this kind of emotional reaction. Please suggest one if you have one.

UPDATE: I thought of a better example on the train today and changed it.
