Inspection Games

A handbook chapter on inspection games, in which an inspector and an inspectee each optimize against the other. Both papers cite it for Principle 14, observation as a game: a census of strategic organisms is an inspection game, so each finding holds only for one monitoring regime and one pinned specimen. Prediction 10 tests this.
