If you’re going to continue tersely talking about X-bots and Y-bots, I don’t think I (and I image others) will be able to fully follow unless I’ve gone through some worked examples, or thought much harder than I normally would about a blog post. But at present it’s not yet clear that it’s worth doing “homework” to understand this.
I don’t think worked examples would make it faster to understand what is going on, but I could be wrong about that. I’m not even sure what a worked example would be, exactly. If following the details feels like work rather than being fun, then until I or others get to additional posts then it’s not worth trying to follow the details. I’m not sure how much of the detail will be important, but to the extent it is I’ll probably want to reprise it anyway.
If you think replacing B-bot with BullyBot and so on would help, I could certainly do that, but I doubt that answers your problem.
I guess the issue is that it wasn’t as obvious to me as to you why claims like the following are true:
> It could have ended in MimicBots and CliqueBots winning together and dividing the pool. This could happen even if their numbers declined slightly early on, if they survived long enough while creating sufficient growth of FoldBot.
(and I was too lazy to step through the reasoning and hoping for a greater degree of hand-holding). But I’ve been pretty mentally exhausted lately so this may not be representative of the typical reader.

I think that replacing B-bot with BullyBot would definitely help.
All right, doing that since it’s quick and easy. Seems unlikely to actively hurt.
