And my meta-Schelling point was actually that the concept of a Schelling point is itself a Schelling point: many people, even animals, come to the independent conclusion that figuring out where the Schelling points are is a good survival strategy. (Or something like this....you get the drift.)

I suppose, but don't forget that there really is a reason they're called "Schelling" points instead of anything else. People really ought to invest a little time in reading the genuine article: The Strategy of Conflict, Harvard University Press, 1960 Choice and Consequence, Harvard University Press, 1984 Micromotives and Macrobehavior, Norton, 1978 Did you know that Thomas Schelling is still very much alive and teaching strategy around the country?
