I'd be far more willing to believe in game theorists calling for defection on the iterated PD than in mathematicians steering mainstream culture.

However, with the positive-sum nature of this game, I'd expect theorists to go with Schelling instead of Nash; and then be completely disregarded by the general public who categorize it under "physical ways of causing pleasure" and put sexual taboos on it.
