When someone asks me how I would get out of a particularly sticky situation, I often fight the urge to glibly respond, by not getting it to said situation.
I digress, if the other pirates were truly rational then they would never let anyone know how good they were at an up-to-X-way fight.
By extension, should truly rational entities never let anyone know how rational they are?
No, they should sometimes not let people know that. Sometimes it is an advantage - either by allowing cooperation that would not otherwise have been possible or demonstrating superior power and so allow options for dominance.
