…the eldrae are gonna be a bit angry at the English language (with corresponding implications for what its speakers must be like) for using the same word for “the standard action” and “breaking a contract”.

It is… annoying, but it’s not the weirdest quirk natural languages have ever thrown up. And, yes, probably says something terribly psychological.

See the prisoner’s dilemma, as practiced using logic here.

The best outcome is for both prisoners to default, as that minimizes the negative outcomes to each.
