gollark: In that case it's essentially "pick the both cooperating reward or pick the both defecting reward".
gollark: I guess if you *know* both will make the same decision, sure.
gollark: What? No. The rational choice is ALWAYS defection if you're only playing once. It's strictly better.
gollark: It isn't built with that assumption. The government will <:bees:724389994663247974> you if they determine you're not paying sufficient tax.
gollark: But if that breaks and some can start defecting, they'll be selected for.
