  • Critics hyped the face-off between New Republic theater critic Robert Brustein and black playwright August Wilson over Afrocentric theater as "the intellectual version of extreme fighting" (Frank Rich, the New York Times ).

  • Other examples support the idea that payoff variation may be key to resolving the emergence of cooperation in supposed Prisoner's Dilemmas.

  • This is demonstrated in the simulations in which relative variation was increased (on a base matrix of 3, 4, 5, 6), through decreasing payoff intervals, by 1.0, 0.5 to 0.25 increments (Figure 2).
