I think it’s my fault. I posted a… rather unpopular article about compromise.
I agree with your hawk/brinksmanship analysis of the strategy. I’ve found in life that ‘the easy way out’ is usually not so easy. I’m still trying to break it down into game-theory language appropriate for this site, however.
By calling the downvotes your fault, it seems that you’re asserting that your post is a causal ancestor of the downvotes, which is a bit off, I think. I’d guess that the downvotes of your post and the downvotes of jwdink’s comment have a common cause (that being a certain utility-maximizing mindset and/or set of preferences), but are not otherwise causally related.
