I see your point about error and time pressure, but I think it's an unsustainable outcome without deception to carry it. For example, in the scenario where an error or selective pressure leads to being ruled over by a dominating force, it would either represent the majority at that point in time, or it would resolve itself out naturally as clarity is gained. In the world we live in, dominating forces are able to maintain power through misdirection.
Realistically, this is all well and good if we could start from scratch, and if everyone can agree to follow this system, but humanity is too far gone for this to work. Once you have too many psychopaths in the gene pool it's game over for any chance of cooperation over competition. Still, I think it's something we should at least strive for with AI.
