I worry about trying to apply lessons learned from zero-sum strategy games involving direct head-to-head conflict to more general domains.
Agreed, but the lesson here is more specific to situations where payoffs are binary.
To elaborate, the lessons seem specific to when ‘maximizing utility’ is the same of maximizing the probability of something. If ‘how much’ you win or lose by is important, then the lessons are much less applicable.
