Not specifically causal origins (there's evolution), instead I suppose there might be a way of directly negating most effects resulting from such strategic considerations (that is, decisions that were influenced by their expected effect on the decision in question that wants to negate that effect).

"Easy" way of doing this: see what would have happened if everyone believed that you were using a model where liars don't prosper (ie random dictator), but actually use a Pareto method.
