I would argue that a perfect agent can never choose a "sucker" option (edit:) and still be a perfect agent. It follows straight from my definition. Of course, if you use a different definition, you'll obtain a different result.

Thus why the dominant agent can't play the number naming game as it can't choose any of the options.
