I would argue most are built on tradition, which offer the ability to build on the results of our forebears without reinventing the wheel. It's also helpful to have a little humility in the face of multiple complexities. That's why challenging tradition, while it can prove useful at times, does not come without a cost.

Oh good point. That's 2 important powers of rationality. Communicability and buildability. That's how we build things like "chemistry".

But yes, tradition. That's a big one.
