I've always found it odd that the people called "rationalists" are not rationalist. Talking about evidence and realistic priors all the time is good (they don't do enough evidence gathering though) but it is not rationalism, it is empiricism.

Surely a rationalist would be into logic and actively refuse to read studies, like the Austrian economists did.
