Come on, of course I don't want that. I'm saying that is the inevitable outcome under the rules of the game I specified. It's just like if I said "I don't want two human players to defect in one-shot PD, but that is what's going to happen."

I don't believe that is true. It's perfectly conceivable that two human players would cooperate.

Yes, I see the possibility now as well, although I still don't think it's very likely. I wrote more about it in http://lesswrong.com/lw/15m/towards_a_new_decision_theory/11lx
