As the article mentions real conflicts are much more complex than any game, but there might still be cultural influences on the preferred strategies even in highly complex conflicts. I wonder how much the order in which you learn such principles has an influence, and if you could predict this influence if you knew the background of each participant in sufficient detail. For example: consider two programmers who both know C and PHP. One of the two learned C first and PHP later, the other learned PHP first and C later. How would their coding (and/or problem solving) styles differ?
