CR is an evolutionary theory. There's no need for correspondence in Darwinism. Therefore, we don't need it in CR either.

I think correspondence is to epistemology as adaptation is to evolution. Knowledge that corresponds more to reality tends to be more useful (and with more reach), similar to biological adaptation.
