I think this deflationary conception of decision theory has serious problems. First is that because it doesn’t pin down a decision-making algorithm, it’s hard to talk about what choices it makes—you can argue for choices but you can’t demonstrate them without showing how they’re generated in full. Second is that it introduces more opportunities to fool yourself with verbal reasoning. Third because historically I think it’s resulted in a lot of wasted words in philosophy journals, although maybe this is just objection one again.
