I think you should modify that to say that a munchkin would be 'resistant to correction' when they want to design their character that is out of whack.

That's another good indicator, but I did take pains to point out that if the GM considers the character an appropriate and campaign-friendly character, it's not munchkinny behavior. To quote myself:

So I don't think you're disagreeing with me. I didn't say a fish-out-of-water type is munchkinny, but if you want to be a fish-out-of-water type for bad reasons, and regardless of the objections and enjoyment (or lack of enjoyment) of the GM and other players, you're probably a munchkin. If what you're proposing is still okay with the other players and the GM, you're just making odd choices, not showing indications of munchkinness.
