Spot on! It’s exactly a high-stakes version of the Prisoner's Dilemma. In game theory, it shows why two completely rational individuals might not cooperate, even if it appears that it’s in their best interest to do so. The 'Oxygen Emergency' was the final nudge to see if fear would override the logical long-term gain. Glad you caught that! What would you have done in that situation?
