All the principles in your list of "non-pragmatic principles" are pragmatic principles. We would throw out any of them upon finding that they actually tend to provide incorrect conclusions. We adopt them because, based on past experience, we believe they tend toward generating correct conclusions. So far, that belief has not been undermined. The number of principles that are not pragmatic are minimal. They include: experience exists, awareness exists, phenomena exist, and existence exists. Everything else we think we know is determined by the application of pragmatic principles to interpretation of experienced phenomena. That would include the previous sentence.
A principle "wins" if the principle belongs to the set of principles that, working together, tend to lead to better lives for all beings who care about what happens, esteeming all caringness equally. "Caringness" is the part of consciousness that cares about what happens.
