Fairbot does not play optimally on the PD\. mathsfFairbot does cooperate with another mathsfFairbot, even if the code of the other agent is not exactly similar \(e\.g\. they can use different proof systems\)\. ? If mathsfFairbot is reasoning in a sound system such as first\-order arithmetic, then mathsfFairbot is also inexploitable; it never Cooperates when the opponent Defects\. However, mathsfFairbot cooperates with mathsfCooperateBot, the agent which simply always returns 'Cooperate'\. By the premises of the Prisoner's Dilemma, we ought to at least bother to Defect against a rock with the word "Cooperate" written on it\. mathsfFairbot fails to exploit mathsfCooperateBot, so mathsfFairbot's play is not optimal\.
