That's my thought. I've never seen that smiley be used for any other purpose.
We've already got the ability to express honest excitement ( ) and ( ), and vigorous ironic-liking... well, maybe not that vigorous, but definitely ironic-liking: , , , , and we mustn't forget .
In practice, it's not used like that - it is the most popular smiley over at Total War Center!
And almost always used there to be funny - eg "The thousand dinos, of the Jurassic Era, descend upon you "
Likely also because you can't really troll when using a smiley that itself looks stupid
