It was a well presented article on game theory, but most are too emotionally driven to consider beyond the immediate move and most react with raw emotion. It’s easier than thinking to go into “monkey brain mode”.
Then there is another whole facet where people take what the press writes as truth, especially if it is cast as “bad”. People will inherintly believe a “bad” story.

What matters to the press is narrative, not truth.
