Let's consider the possibility that labeling makes irrational disagreement easier. If you and I disagree about something, maybe that's because at most one of us is right. But once we learn that you're a Green and I'm a Blue, the discussion is over--we're just different stripes, that's all.
That said, if we're going for a term that has minimum transition costs associated with switching to it, why not technical rationality or quantitative rationality?They're just different enough from plain ol' rationality that they might prevent confusion.
