What I think you should be saying is that there is an inability to make the
measurements of irrationality because of the secretive person's unwillingness
to be measured. But what they don't realize is that they can be second guessed
by another being put in their shoes, as it were with undeniable plausibility.
This is why when using a tool like my Ingrid system, one finds it hard to rope
people into thinking in grids. Distributed intelligence is harder to kick start
than a mexican wave. But is can happen.
