actually, tit-for-tat demonstrably outperforms more sophisticated strategies, in just about every possible simulation, and that is maybe what the media missed, all along: somebody playing 0-dimensional chess with force and conviction is actually likely to handily defeat somebody playing 18-dimensional chess, as he steam rolls over all of the logic bending around and collapsing in on itself.

what the math actually says in these scenarios is that you want to keep it simple, stupid. but, you're not consulting the math. you're consulting some hare-brained theories written by a bunch of half-literate charlatans with worthless mbas.

i keep telling you to take a course in game theory. it doesn't require advanced math - some simple algebra, that's it. but, you don't listen.
