# kaal:claim:6244278-028

**Claim.** Under persistent reputation and multiplicative updates in the repeated game, honest evaluation is stronger than a one-shot focal point: it is the strategy that minimizes long-run regret for each validator and is the Nash equilibrium of the repeated expert aggregation game.

**Type.** mechanism  **Support.** evidenced

**Holds when.**

- requires repeated play with persistent reputation and other validators also minimizing regret

**Source quote.**

> Honesty is the Nash equilibrium of the repeated expert aggregation game under multiplicative updates.
