and this is exactly the problem: If your behavior on the prisoner's dilemma changes with the size of the outcome, then you aren't really playing the prisoner's dilemma. Your calculation in the low-payoff case was being confused by other terms in your utility function, terms for being someone who cooperates -- terms that didn't scale.
Yes, my point was that my variable skepticism is surely evidence of bias or rationalization, and that we can't learn much from "mild" PD. I do also agree that warm fuzzies from being a cooperator don't scale.
