[Edited: Corrected typo] Roughly: You'll have to make a better argument that rationalization and hypothetico-deductivism are the same thing, because one of us is deeply wrong about this, and I don't think it's me.
Possibly... Although my interpretation depends on whether yudkowsky is using the word conclusion to also refer to a hypothesis, I think it's hard to argue that he means something other than inductive inference in his definition of rationality, and so the central issue stands even if rationalization is slightly different.
His definition of rationality is "Bayesian inference."
And rationalization isn't "Everything that isn't rationality", regardless of what rationality refers to.
