Right - what I'm saying wasn't true under all circumstances, and there are certainly criteria for "winning" other than domination.

What I meant was that as soon as you introduce an AI into the system that has domination as a goal or subgoal, it will tend to wipe out any other AIs that don't have some kind of drive to win. If an AI can be persuaded to be indifferent about the future then the dominating AI can choose to exploit that.
