The cost is typically $200 one-way. If I purposely find the longest route for the same $200 for extra miles (I would not spend more $$ then the original price), is that considered a MR? Or a faux MR?

What are true MRs? Only flying to gain miles? I have to go to SFO regardless and decided to go a little out of the ways for extra miles, i do NOT intend to spend extra money, however am willing to spend extra time for free miles. Is that called a mini MR? thanks guys.
Flew to Istanbul for 2 hrs and came home! Next month flying to LAX and red-eye back same day for 3 days straight (overnight just last night at 6AM return was cheaper).
