But if she redistributed enough to her friends to make up for what she took, that would have been the original agreement they had made in the first place!
My entire point was that I think it’s possible for Ashley to use her gains from defecting in the PD to more than offset her real-life reputational costs.
Do you disagree with my statement that it is possible to do that?
Yes, I do disagree, because any later redistribution to them will either be a) less than what they would have gotten in the original deal, or b) the same as what it would have been if she had just stuck to the disagreement.
Plus, undoing damage to your reputation is much harder than doing the damage.
