I'd agree with this. Bean is a genius and no one else figures out what he figures out, and the reader can't follow along. Achilles is "evil" and not sympathetic or understandable besides being evil. I think this is more a supersmart character beating everyone by virtue of the author declaring they are a genius and giving them the answers than anything in-universe. Or any application of rational thought in universe.

Definitely, the Ender series had pretty good worldbuilding, but it wasn't rational worldbuilding.

Yeah, I'm inclined to agree with you now.

Idk, this counts, right? An even-more-rationalist version of Ender's Game?

I think so. Discussion probably won't get far outside of people who have already read the book, but I don't see why not. Edit: Actually it's looking more like this doesn't belong so much.
