You’re probably right about that; Rincewind would be constantly looking for opportunities to run away. He’d fail, but he’d still try. I’d rather bring along Granny Weatherwax or Susan Sto Helit than Vimes, though.
Which would make the best LessWronger? I’d call Vimes the doggedly rational type… but Susan is probably more likely to go about her dogged rationality in a theoretical/mathematical way. And Granny Weatherwax does like methods that WIN, but I’m not sure that she cares very much just how they achieve it.
I wouldn’t call Vimes doggedly rational—at least, not compared to Granny, who is as rational as you can get in a world shaped like a disc resting on the backs of four elephants standing on a giant turtle swimming through space. Vimes just wishes the world made sense. Granny knows it doesn’t.

Obviously, Vetinari would, if he would deign to deal with us mere bloggers. ;)

Hrm… Can I request some sort of hybrid of Granny Weatherwax and Ponder Stibbons with a bit of Moist von Lipwig thrown in for good measure?
EDIT: and give the resulting being a carefully dose of Klatchian coffee.
