the meaning of "based" is typically rendered as "being yourself and not caring what other people think", but imo "caring but not being unduly influenced by" is a truer form of basedness

I can strongly agree with that provided it is slightly more restricted to those who successfully appear sincere and unmotivated by bias.

the insincere and biased have their own relevance. caring about tactical impact is a kind of caring

It is a form of caring, but is it really a form of caring that would be included in the connotations of based?

hm, gonna say yeah. "the opinions of the insincere and biased are of strictly tactical significance to me" sounds based

That does, but that also sounds 'uncaring' in a cold and emotionless way that seems to divide the matter.
