Missing the point. I wasn't arguing that there aren't reasons to think that the bad AI goes FOOM won't happen. Indeed, I said explicitly that I didn't think it would occur. My point was that if one is going to make an argument that relies on that here one needs to be aware that the premise is controversial and be clear about that (say giving basic reasoning for it, or even just saying "If one accepts that X then..." etc.).
