Rationality means winning. Further, rationality means having something to protect beyond merely your own self-image as a rationalist. What do you have to protect? If you were faced between lying about research and not protecting that thing, you would lie (or else it isn’t your thing-to-protect), and I hope you know that. What I’ve been saying is no different from the SIAI hoping to slow research on strong AI.
If you profess to be a rationalist, but don’t care about winning and have nothing to win in the first place, that falls below any standard of rationality I know of, regardless of how Internet Brownie Points factor into it.
