A very useful and yes thoughtful article!

I am the co-author of a book we call "Attentive, Intelligent, Rational, Responsible". This is a tagline for Bernard Lonergan's "general empirical method" that seeks to help people discover their thinking. Paying attention to a phenomenon (writ large; a text, a stone, etc.) can elicit a question, "what is it?" Once the question is asked, insights occur, and they need to be considered valid or not. Once a hypothesis arises, intelligence moves to rationality, with the question "is that so?" If it can be verified, then the thinker needs to take responsibility for what she has figured out.
