Well, that's a nice thing to point out. Was there any research to how many lives were effectively changed by LW?

Also, have anyone else got the feeling that there's some sort of innate rationality? It's the same thing as the awesome flare you feel when the seemingly obvious things are pointed out. I probably wouldn't be thinking like this if it wasn't for anything LW-esque. (Maybe LW has something unique going for it?) Maybe it's something unique for me - but sometimes I feel certain things inside me were either locked or repressed, or in the case of actions, misguided.

No, only anecdotal evidence.
