Precisely. The place to hide a needle is in a large stack of needles.
The choice here was between "bad" and "worse" - a trolley problem, a lose-lose hypothetical - and they appear to have chosen "worse".
I prefer to outsource my needle-keeping security to Clippy in exchange for allowing certain 'bending' liberties from time to time. :)
Upvoted for LOL value. We'll tell Clippy the terrible, no good, very bad idea with reasons as to why this would hamper the production of paperclips.
"Hi! I see you've accidentally the whole uFAI! Would you like help turning it into paperclips?"
Brilliant.
Of course, if Clippy were clever he would then offer to sell SIAI a commitment to never release the UFAI in exchange for a commitment to produce a fixed number of paperclips per year, in perpetuity.
Admittedly, his mastery of human signaling probably isn't nuanced enough to prevent that from sounding like blackmail.
