Why would you prefer three points to five points? Aren’t points just a way of specifying utility? Five points is better than three points by definition.
Right- which means defectbot is the optimal strategy. However, when playing against someone who is defined to be using the same strategy as you, you get more points by using the other strategy.
It should not be the case that two players independently using the optimal option would score more if the optimal option were different.
