I'm not sure why you're so bothered by that article. There's nothing wrong with my game theory, as far as I can tell, and I think historically, the phenomenon described must have played some role in the evolution of intelligence. So why should I retract it?
I do not think the article suggests any non-toy scenario where such situations might have reasonably arisen.
My personal favorite reason for "why are we not more intelligent species" is that the smart ones don't breed enough :)
