But as you say, if you did adopt that view, then we can’t really talk about how to make decisions in the first place, and it would be nice if we could. (Hmm, are we rejecting a true view because it’s not useful, in favor of trying to find a view which would be no less true but which would be more useful? That’s a postrationalist move right there...)
I did not say that.
I said nothing about “it would be nice if we could”, nor did I suggest that I both accept shminux’s view as true, and am willing to reject it due to the aforesaid “it would be nice…” consideration.
Please don’t put words in my mouth to make it seem like I actually already agree with you; that is extremely annoying.
I will have more to say later, but:

Apologies, I misinterpreted you then.
