Yes, I think that’s an accurate succinct definition. (Note: I spent a few minutes writing this comment thinking that there was a small different between your statement and my intention, and ultimately decided that there wasn’t.) We could make many fine distinctions in this cluster. To list several notions in this close region:
A person who is guided by the goal of being rational vs a person who is guided by the goal of seeming rational
Trying to seem rational by any means vs trying to seem rational in socially acceptable ways
Trying to be rational by any means vs trying to be rational only in socially acceptable ways
The last of these is similar to the concept of a person who is playing to win vs a scrub a person who sees overly clever strategies as a kind of cheating, but other than that, plays to win.
Another important concept is negitiability: that the decision-making process is open to scrutiny and adjustment by outsiders. This is similar to corrigibility, as well.
