There seems to be some confusion on how to deal with correlated decision making - such as with absent-minded drivers and multiple copies of yourself; any situation in which many agents will allreach the same decision.

I found this description misleading. It immediately brought to mind examples of games where a correlation of another agent's decision to my own provides me with the opportunity to exploit them.
