I just have to point out that just because it's anecdotal evidence doesn't mean we shouldn't take it as evidence- albeit with a good amount of salt. Especially from someone who we have evidence (Being on this site in the first place) is at least mildly rational. (And I'm not even going to mention the ghosts thing.)
Careful. Lots of people can use the Internet. (It bothers me a little bit when people on LessWrong say things like 'using LessWrong is evidence of rationality' and suchlike, mostly because I feel it encourages complacency.)
His reputation here overwhelms any evidence from the mere fact that he's here.
I took “being on this site” to mean “being a regular” in this context.
