And I’m not entirely sure you should call it a defect. Perhaps more a cooperation outcome with a potential side payment. With the single defect and a $100 side payment by the remaining group to the nuked group you’ve accomplished a Pareto move to a superior outcome. Both organizations are at least as well off as if none were nuked. And if the nuked group just thinks the other is doing just as good work without the side payment they might think it’s a wash who actually gets the additional $100.
What I would be really interested in is just how this outcome actually attained. Seems like everyone was pretty smart (and altruistic) to realize retaliation was not the right response. In short, was this a case of a Petrovian restraint in responding to the reported nuke attack in a sense.
I’m not sure that anyone exercised restraint in not responding to the last attack, as I don’t have any evidence that anyone saw the last response. It’s quite possible people did see it and didn’t respond, but I have no way to know that.
