What accounts for TIT fo TAT's roobust success is it's combination of being nice, retaliatory, forgiving and clear. It's niceness prevents it from getting into unnecessary trouble. It's retaliation discourages the other side from persisting whenever defection is tried. It's forgiveness helps retore mutual cooperation. And it's clarity makes it intelligible to th eother player, therby eliciting long-term cooperation. The Evolution of Cooperation, 1984
