It is not a fully general counterargument because only if FAI approach is right it is a good idea to suppress open dissemination of some AGI information.
It's a general argument to avoid considering whether or not something even is information in a relevant sense.
I'm willing to accept "If you are wrong, it is good that papers showing how you are wrong are published," but not "If you are right, there is no harm done by any arguments against your position," nor "If you are wrong, there is benefit to any argument about AI so long as it differs from yours."
Another way to put it is that it is a fully general counterargument against having standards. ;)
