When I said "I cooperate on PD", I didn't mean to lump all those together. It's shorthand for those who cooperate in the way resulting from TDT. My point is that TDT itself, as described in that one sentence from the Harry Potter story, is no different from saying "People should cooperate because then they will all get better payoffs" (although in a more specific way).
