Abstract
While Engelhardt and Taborsky1 agree with the core argument of our recent article2—that enforcement is central to the evolution of cooperation—they go on to suggest i) that our use of the word “enforcement” is semantically problematic and ii) that we neglect to distinguish between behavioural manipulations that occur via helping or harming. We find no merit in these points.
