It's a priori evident that you're vastly more rational than the great physicists on this dimension.

I suspect you have some good points (and I upvoted), but I have a fantasy of people who say this being transported to a world where it's normal to deliberately bang your head against a hard surface once a day. If they don't want to, they're asked "What - so you think you're smarter than everybody else?".
