Right, so the claim people are making is that you (and people like you) should all be more irrational. That's my take on it, anyway.
You’re giving them too much credit. They are clearly objecting to the claim that it is individually irrational, despite being completely unable to conjure a relevant argument to that effect.
I would have no disagreement with someone saying what you just said. My point would still be that it wouldn’t have mattered if I had not been included.
Obeying orders is always individually rational.
If I say to dig a trench, it makes no sense for you to claim it's all the same whether it's 100 men or 101 men doing the work. It's not actually up for debate. You have to go dig.
Except that I don’t have to, so you need a different approach.
But, again, on the margin I would not be better off were I irrational in that way.
I would be better off if every other libertarian were irrational in that narrow way, regardless of whether or not I shared the irrationality.
