    When you adjust the rules of the game to not define a set number of interactions with each player

    Then being nasty wins out, no matter the length of the game as long as it’s known (or at least an upper bound is known) But that’s not the case in practice so it’s irrelevant which is why I specified (yes I mentioned it) infinite or unknown amount of iterations.

    That mark. That thing we consider good. The innate sense, what pretty much everyone agrees on. It is there because our ancestors were successful because all that game theory stuff happens to apply. If it didn’t, then we would consider defecting good, not, to sum it up neatly, “never start a fight but always end it”.
