So, this paper is not really demonstrating anything against the standard game theory applied to the prisoner's dilemma.

In a single game, the proposition of the dilemma still holds true. The best solution is if both don't talk.

In an iterative game, then things change.. but that's pretty obvious. So not sure what is so revoluationary about this paper.

I thought it said in a single game your best strategy is to talk? This guarantees you will not take the maximum penalty.
