Well, show me the power of LW then.

Since Quinean philosophy is just LW rationality but earlier, then that should settle it.

I find it likely that if someone were to trace the origins of LW rationality one would end up with Quine or someone similar. E.g. perhaps you read an essay by a Quinean philosopher when you were younger.
