   isn't it still rude in the middle of an allegedly friendly dialogue to say "you are being irrational" or have I forgotten something

     @cwebber Personal attack in a friendly conversation is a bit iffy to me. Maybe instead say "That line of thinking is irrational"?

     @cwebber not completely :) if you:

     1. take it to mean 'I believe you are not currently behaving as rationally as you might think you are in case you're interested'
     2. believe that the person's position might help you better inform your priors or estimates

     And the people participating are under a shared understanding of good intentions, etc. I think it can be a good thing to say?
