As I said, at this point, all I know is that you think you're becoming more rational. I can't begin to tell whether yourfeelings are about becoming more rational unless I know in more detail about how your thinking has changed.
As for me, the most obvious change is that I'm less likely to go "Cool new thing that fits with my preconceptions! It must be true!" and more likely to think "Check on whether it actually makes sense and has sufficient evidence".
This extremely interesting!
It means your own feelings are so different from mine you can't just be like "check, mostly check, check, not check, check" (see e.g. Villiam's comment).
I didn't anticipate a large part of the readers to feel so differently from me, that they literally can't tell if what I'm saying correlates positively with rationality or not.
This was the source of my confusion, I guess.
Fun!
Learning stuff!
