General Rationality

Adherence to the common, shared standards of reason and evidence-based thinking within a given society or discourse community. It’s the baseline "good sense" expected in normal discussion, though its boundaries can be culturally specific.

Example: "In the meeting, general rationality prevailed: we looked at the sales data, projected costs, and market trends before deciding. We didn't consult astrological charts or flip a coin. We used the broadly accepted toolkit for business decisions."
