This is a very weak argument, since it might simply show that coherent epistemology leads to everyone becoming religious, or neo-reactionary.
In other words, your arguments just says "very intelligent people disagree with me, so that must be because of perverse values."
It could also just be that you are wrong.
Uhm, it's evident I've not made my argument very clear (which is not a surprise, since I've wrote that stub in less than a minute).
Let me rephrase it in a way that addresses your point:
"Value alignment is very hard, because two people, both very intelligent and with a mostly coherent epistemology, can radically differ in their values because of a very tiny difference.
Think for example to neoreactionaries or rationalists converted to religions: they have a mostly coherent set of beliefs, often diverging from atheist or progressive rationalists in very few points."
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post, then it goes here.
