Thus the shift from a world where map-accuracy and winningness are not the same thing to one where they're identical a posteriori is a nonlinear shift, and in my mind this legitimizes the use of the term "rationality".

Where's the nonlinearity, and why does nonlinearity legitimize the term "rationality"?
