I’m assuming this is a definition for a specific kind of manipulation.
You can, of course, use things other than emotion to manipulate people. It is the bread and butter of board game strategy, for example.
EDIT: Come to think of it does this definition cover people whose ‘normal decision-making process’ is essentially emotion? The more I look at it the more it seems like what I consider manipulation is an extremely messy concept.
