You can't always beat every single worm every day, Jenny. C'mon, actually think about it for a moment. Anyone who always defects is going to get a bunch of years from anyone else who always defects, even as they win against those who cooperate. Those who always cooperate get off light with one another, but they're easy pickings against anyone who always defects.
You need a strategy that allows you flexibility, that is capable of responding to both--and to itself, once others figure it out.
But will you actually engage with the puzzle I'm laying out? I have a point here. If you always defect, you're going to lose, as is everyone else who always defects.
[archly] I do believe I have already explained exactly how I'm going to win. You just don't like it, possibly for worm-related reasons I would not understand.

[Well. At least he knows he can rely on her to always defect, now. That's information in itself.]
Care for another drink?

[a shrug] Probably shouldn't. After pickling yourself for a month straight, it's good to reign it back for a little while.
