I'm pretty confident that if we played an iterated prisoners dilemma, your flipping a coin each time and my running TDT, I would win. This is, however, quite a low bar.

I took it as a statement of what would prove the theory false, rather than a statement of something believed likely.

I think that would only be true if there were more than 2 players. Won't random coin flip and TDT be tied in the two player case?

No. TDT, once it figures out it's facing a coin flipper, defects 100% of the time and runs away with it.

Nope, TDT will defect every time.
