A lot of businesses could have "done rationally" appended to them. MetaMed is "medicine, done rationally" (using statistics). Google is "search done rationally"(with statistics). The only reason medicine stands out is due the the rather poor baseline.
Alternative words to "only" include "valid" and "sufficient".
Your example doesn't support your intended conclusion. In a world with irrational and often unhelpful search engines and an unknown, newly formed "Google", it would be entirely appropriate to make people aware of it, in a similar post to this one.
