It is possible to rationally prioritise between causes without engaging deeply on philosophical issues
Comparing causes can be done by making simple assumptions and then performing a detailed empirical analysis on the basis of these assumptions. The results will be limited by being dependent on those assumptions, but that is true for any philosophical position. It is not necessary to engage deeply with the philosophy underpinning those assumptions to do rational comparison.
