Excellent and not just for the reprise of Sherlock Holmes. The interplay you describe provides a wonderful basis for examining how real people act in the real world.
I wonder if by extension you can say that unless the rational finds a basis in empiricism it becomes definitionally irrational. If this is a reasonable statement, I wonder if it is worth you commenting on the role irrationality plays (if any) in the generation of knowledge.
Thanks. Great point about the role that irrationality plays in knowledge - in some cases it can be helpful for new knowledge, but more often it is not. I will definitely write on that in the context of the interplay. I'll just need to tease out some concepts as we use the term 'rational' to mean a few different things that are relevant in different ways.
