How about "Cooperation Calls Game Theory into Question"?
- firethief 12y ago"Data calls extremely simplistic model no one ever would have thought fully explained the domain into question"
- rosser 12y agoI'm reminded of the 'cstross quip, "Libertarianism is like Leninism: a fascinating, internally consistent political theory with some good underlying points that, regrettably, makes prescriptions about how to run human society that can only work if we replace real messy human beings with frictionless spherical humanoids of uniform density." EDIT: corrected the quote.
- SilasX 12y agoRight. In cases like this, you either a) have unmodeled dynamics or b) (much less likely) you found a superior strategy. If b), try it out in the wild. If a), add assumptions that make the observed behavior optimal again, and see if those assumptions apply to the real world situation.
