Predictors observe random subsamples of either (i) incentivized choices or (ii) hypothetical claims. The hypothetical claims exhibit systematic SDR and predictors are reasonably skeptical of them.

We apply the concept of <em>incentive ratio</em>, the percentage of the new utility after a Sybil attack over the benchmark, to measure the incentive of a strategic agent to play a Sybil attack, proving a tight bound of two over general networks.

When presented with actions of the same expectated payoff, under a wide range of conditions, <em>ε</em>-Greedy chooses the lower-variance action with probability approaching one. This emergent preference can have wide-ranging consequences, from inequity to homogenization, and holds transiently even when the higher-variance action has a strictly higher expected payoff.
