I think, but am not sure you mean game theory. It is different, and more telling as a means of winning a battle. Some have used it in a market theory to determine winners in a finance. Bush used it and was heartily criticised for using the gambit.

But it is science so it is OK to use National Socialist methods to predict human behavior.
