A reflex does not necessarily involve fear, but the Low Road sounds suspiciously like a reflex.
In addition, it seems like the Low Road is not a response to fear, but a creator of fear, based on my understanding of those quotes. And, fear being a drive to avoid something, and the Low Road being a response to unwanted stimuli, it would appear that fear is rational.
N.B.: I'm using the definition of "rational" used by game theory, that is, a decision is rational if the possible outcomes for that decision are better than those for other decisions (assuming a certain goal, of course).
