The "results" in decision theory we've got so far are so tenuous that I believe their role is primarily to somewhat clarify the problem statement for what remains to be done (a big step compared to complete confusion in the past, but not quite clear (-ly motivated) math). The ratchet of science hasn't clicked yet, even if rational evidence is significant, which is the same problem you voice for strategy discussion.
