I think this is all pretty much true... but I still suspect that a lot of readers of that kind of article, if they learned that LW readers were mostly liberal/socialist, would be surprised and update a bit. Reading non-libertarian rationalists firsthand might do something similar.

ETA: That's not to say any particular publication strategy, or any publication strategy at all, would be effective, or that there wouldn't be other costs.
