Notice how I made a successful prediction that you will try to dodge my request.
It would be helpful to you, if you want to improve your rationality, as opposed to feeling good.
Edit: I retract this, since it is not a helpful way to advance the discussion.
That happen to be false. You predicted something related but different. But predicting that people won't go along with unreasonable requests doesn't require much skill.
It's also intersting that you call it dodgin when I ask you to provide reasons for why you think what you recommend is good.
I don't see how going along with people who are evasive generally increases my rationality. In general the sequences also recommend against playing devils advocate and don't see it as raising rationality.
