I have no commitment to 'rational' in the sense OP wants to eliminate. But what shorthand might one use for "applying the sorts of principles that are the general consensus among the LW community, as best I understand them"?
Anything from "The best X" to "optimal X" to simply stating your opinion. The normal assumption around here is that you're trying to be rational to the best of your ability.
