Is the problem of measuring rationality related to the problem of measuring programming skill? Both are notoriously hard, but I can't tell if they're hard for the same reason...

I think they're different, though with some overlap.

Rationality applies to a much wider range of subjects, and involves dealing with much more uncertainty.
