Plus if you think about the Proposer’s optimization problem, it really hinges on “what is the probability that the Responder will accept my offer?” Obviously, the probability is at a maximum for 0,10 and one expects it to remain very high, even 1.0, through 5,5. Proposer is already aware that their own expected value declines after that point, and probably assumes it does so monotonically. If the Responder can share their particular probability schedule, that’s great, and it’s actually important if Proposer for some reason is unaware of the incentive structure. Yudkowsky and Kennedy’s explication is nice and probably helpful advice, but not really a “solution.”
