Epistemic rationality alone might be well enough for those of us who simply love truth (who love truthseeking, I mean; the truth itself is usually an abomination)
What motivation is there to seek out an abomination?
Presumably the position mentioned is simply that one can value truth without valuing particular truths in the sense that you want them to be true. It might be true that an earthquake will kill hundreds, but I don’t love that an earthquake will kill hundreds.

Yes, thank you, that’s what I was trying to get at. “[U]sually an abomination” was poetic exaggeration—in retrospect, a very poor choice of words on my part.
