I won’t try and argue that this strategy in particular is ideal. (FYI, this is the strategy called “nicerbot”.) However, the general pattern I’m using it to point at, where you give just a little benefit of the doubt, is only slightly exploitable as a rule. This will often be worth it due to a number of cases where the strategy helps force good equilibria.
