In my experience, “Farmer’s Dilemma” (aka Chicken/Snowdrift) is both more common than PD, and harder for human players to coordinate away from pathological outcomes. I think it should be the prototypical “nasty” game instead of PD. We’ve all been assigned a group project at school; we have not all been interrogated by the police in a situation where the payoffs are truly PD.
Nicely done.
