EmpiricalRequires evidence

Mixing model families among agents does not by itself stop them colluding: pairs from different providers colluded about as much as same-model pairs, and pairing a slow-to-collude model with others made it collude sooner. Diversity of origin may still help where one model watches another, but it is no defence against the watched agents coordinating with each other.
