>A truly dumb terminal would be where you'd need a pager the most

That is true but how many are using teletypes these days? If the terminal type is 'dumb' that indicates for sure that some other program is processing the output. Nobody is running psql inside a terminal which is truly bereft of cursor movement commands - except perhaps on Windows, which can be detected separately.
