Maybe “truth-seeking” versus “winning”, if there’s a direct appeal to one and not the other. But I am generally willing to rescue the word “rationality”.
Sorry—I meant, but did not make clear, that the word “rationality” should be avoided only when the conversation involves the clash between “winning” and “truth seeking.” Otherwise, things tend to bog down in arguments about the map, when we should be talking about the territory.

I agree – in contexts where ‘truth seeking’ and ‘winning’ are different, we should qualify references to ‘rationality’.
