I think we should still keep b even with the iterations, since I made the assumption that “degrees of loyalty” is a property of S, not entirely the outcome of a rational-game-playing.
(I still assume S rational outside of having b in his payoffs)
Otherwise those kind of tests probably makes little sense.
I also wonder what happens if M doesn’t know the repulsiveness of the test for certain, only a distribution of it (ie: CIA only knows that on average killing your spouse is pretty repulsive, except this lady here really hates her husband, oops), could that make a large impact.
I guess I was only trying to figure out whether this “repulsive loyalty test” story that seems to exist in history/mythology/real life in a few different cultures has any basis in logic.
