This story reminds me of a tenet of practical game theory: your best response should take into account the mistakes you believe your opponent will make. Fixed-points likely played no role in the analysis that lead Britain to employ an astrologer during the war, but this is an example of game theory, to be sure. Since Hitler consulted an astrologer, so did Britain, to discover what Hitler was likely to do. I love it.
