Not really. A mistake theorist is obviously going to attribute it to a mistake. But the end result is the same: the other guy is going to treat you as an enemy, work against you, and generally defect against you in prisoner dilemmas. From a conflict theorist's point of view, this is similar to the issue of People who vote "against their own interests" because they were brainwashed by the Elite. The perception and framing of it is different, but the issue is the same.
