i feel like a conflict theorist who, on principle, chooses to act like the entire world is mistake theory

are you sure it's a principle and not in fact just a good conflict strategy which works best when framed as a principle?

maybe? It does feel 'good' though, as in, I choose to keep attempting to cooperate even though i know maybe you're defecting, because i want to show that i *will* in fact cooperate with you.

I quite like you doing the mistake theory thing, but in the interest of doing mistake theory I think there's a failure mode(?) here to be wary of where you refuse to acknowledge the conflict in a way that makes less skilled players angry. You then win, but you don't learn.
