It’s hardly a wilful ignorance, it’s a deliberate rejection. A good decision theory, by nature, should produce results that don’t actually depend on visible precommitments to achieve negotiation equilibrium, since an ideal agent negotiating ought to be able to accept postcommitment to things you would predictably wish you’d precommitted to. And if a decision theory doesn’t allow you to hold out for fairness in the face of an uneven power dynamic, why even have one?
