If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
Notes for future OT posters:
1. Please add the 'open_thread' tag.
2. Check if there is an active Open Thread before posting a new one.
3. Open Threads should be posted in Discussion, and not Main.
4. Open Threads should start on Monday, and end on Sunday.
It's not clear that someone analyzing the situation will choose to cooperate - plenty of smart people have argued that the rational behavior in prisoner's dilemma is to defect.
And I would argue that even for smart people, a simple algorithm is more likely to get everyone on board; a complicated but "better" solution which no one else follows (and that would only count as "better" if everybody was following it) is not worth following.
