I tend to agree.

Some minor questions improvements to rough corners:

  • In the first table the predictors "Education Level" and "Cognitive Ability" are not explained nor referred to.

  • In the second table the tactic "Rendering Favors" has no description and I'm not clear what that might be. I'd like to see an example.

  • dito for the third table. And if it's a simple "see above".

  • "The Dilbert Effect" used as title but not really related to in text. I think I know what is meant but it's really not clear.

Also I'd like to see a quote about the lab experiments to get a feel of type of politics gamed.
