If somebody was planning to destroy the world, the rationalist could stop him and not break his oath of honesty by simply killing the psychopath. Then if the rationalist were caught and arrested and still didn't reveal why he had committed murder, perhaps even being condemned to death for the act but never breaking his oath of honesty, now that would make an awesome movie.
