I disagree with Jiro and Salemicus. Learning about how human brains work is entirely relevant to rationality.
Someone who characterized the results the way they characterize them in this quote has learned some facts, but failed on the analysis.
It's like a quote which says "(correct mathematical result) proves that God has a direct hand in the creation of the world". That wouldn't be a rationality quote just because they really did learn a correct mathematical result.
