I don’t think it’s just (or even particularly) bad axioms, I think it’s that people tend to build up “logical” conclusions where they think each step is a watertight necessity that follows inevitably from its antecedents, but actually each step is a little bit leaky, leading to runaway growth in false confidence.
Not that non-rationalists are any better at reasoning, but non-rationalists do at least benefit from some intellectual humility.
