Does a rationalist with some mystical sympathies (I wonder if this is what Maimonides actually was) hedge on rationalism itself? Because of our own limits (or because God may not have the limits we impute to God), it doesn't make sense to rule out the romantic approach. So you commit to the network (klal Yisrael), recognizing that it supports both approaches, and hold them in tension. Maybe it's not crazy (irrational?) to deeply buy into both.
I suppose that calls into question the first point. I can't avoid having a theological view, but it can change by the minute.
