The point is, rationality means a set of method that preferably every human being should learn and use.

Don't get hung up on terminology. "Epistemic rationality" is known in the normal world as "science" (or "scientific method"). "Instrumental rationality" is known as "pragmatism".

I don't think those Rationalist swear words are a case of pragmatism.
