The remaining footnote, the one about RationalWiki, should probably also be removed. It doesn't add anything to the article's point, and it's somewhat rude (in the social sense as well as the logical sense, i.e. you are presenting a strawman response to a question they were never asked).
As a long-time RW regular, I thought it was pretty accurate. Everyone thinks they're rational, particularly the infuriatingly hard-of-thinking. RW is Internet television and an enjoyable waste of your time at best. With useful bits. (This is approximately how I treat LW as well, of course.)
I agree. For those familiar with RationalWiki, I actually thought that it provided a nice contrasting example, honestly. Eliezer's definition for rationality is (regrettably, in my opinion) rare in a general sense (insofar as I encounter people using the term), and I think the example is worthwhile for illustrative purposes.
nice phrase!
