I would argue that this necessitates accepting that rational and empirically verifiable does indeed vary from one individual to another. William Craig Lane is a good example of someone who believes all the above about his own arguments.
That's my point - there claiming that it is rational and empirically verifiable doesn't actually make it so and finding supporters for the claim would simply be appealing to popularity. If their view is actually empirically verifiable, then what's stopping him from emprically verifying it to others?
