The expected action of someone more agenty than oneself, when confronted with certain situations, is to take an action which falls into the category “all others”.
When they pick “repeat the same course of action which just failed”, it is surprising that they picked a predictable response, rather than a response not contained in the predictions.
Is this a clever “paradoxical” description of what happens that I’m not quite parsing, or is it just a contradiction?
