Deceptive signals are a challenge to explain because on average, signals should be reliable. When being deceived is costly to the receiver, a coevolutionary struggle between senders and receivers can ensue. Recent work by Macías Garcia and Ramirez raises the intriguing possibility that through such a coevolutionary process, cheats can become honest.
欺骗性信号很难解释，因为一般来说，信号应该是可靠的。当被欺骗对接收者来说代价高昂时，发送者和接收者之间就可能会发生共同进化的斗争。马西亚斯·加西亚和拉米雷斯最近的研究提出了一种有趣的可能性，即通过这样一个共同进化过程，欺骗者可能会变得诚实。
