I don’t fully understand the post. Without a clear definition of “winning,” the points you’re trying to make — as well as the distinction between pragmatic and non-pragmatic principles (which also aligns with strategies and knowledge formation) — aren’t totally clear. For instance, “winning,” in some vague sense, probably also includes things like “fitting with evidence,” taking advice from others, and so on. You don’t necessarily need to turn to non-pragmatic principles or those that don’t derive from the principle of winning. “Winning” is a pretty loose term.
This is part of the problem we’re pointing out in the post. We’ve encountered claims of this “winning” flavor that haven’t been made precise, so we survey different things “winning” could mean more precisely, and argue that they’re inadequate for figuring out which norms of rationality to adopt.
