Rorty lead the seminar one day. It was difficult to get a clear sense of where he was coming from (he tended to just shrug off just about any question we threw at him). But, one thing became pretty clear by the end of that discussion -- Rorty (at least then) cared much more about inquiry than truth. I'm no Rorty expert, but that experience does support your guess.
