Rationality appears to have some intimate relation with normativity: exactly what relation is in dispute. John Broome devotes a chapter of his recent book to rebutting the view that rationality has 'true normativity', which he equates with the kind of normativity that I call directivity. In particular, he offers a number of arguments against derivative accounts of the normativity of rationality. In this paper I defend my instrumentalist account from those arguments. In so doing I bring into view the grounds of a live positive defence of rationality's servanthood to directivity.
