I probably do suffer halo effects related to it, however I don't think it's connection to rationality is caused by that since it's one of the main reasons I got interested in the show in the first place. Halo effects don't tend to cause the MAIN thing you like about somehting since it's a bleedover from such main things to more minor things.

The closest thing to what you describe that might be the case is halo effect from what it's trying to teach to how pedagogically it teaches it, but I wouldn't bet on that either.
