Anyone else see this article in New Scientist, about how neurotic AIs defeat rational AIs?

Actually, it says the neurotic AI defeats "standard" (totally passive and dumb) AI faster than a plain aggressive AI.
What tells us nothing else than that
a) the standard AI of the game sucks
b) they should have run the test with much more limited in-game ressources and on a bigger time scale: a calculating agressive AI would always beat a neurotical AI in that case. And ressources are limited in one way or the other in 99% of cases. Real life experience shows that ignoring these limitations is recipe for mid- or long-term desaster, not success. The argument of being unpredictable does not apply at all, because the standard AI cannot predict anything at all ... .
