That seems like a pretty accurate take on the rationalist movement though? My skepticism with it is that awareness is not enough to overcome bias.

The reasoning improvements primarily cone from a greater awareness of words (ambiguous meaning, context sensitivity, considering things as if they were statements in set theory) and tools like word tabooing or outside view. I doubt the author has had much contact with rationalists (who the hell says "rationslism"?!).
