Upvoted for bringing the Langford story to my attention; I was not aware of it.

There's a similar plotline in one of the Star Trek episodes with the Borg, where (IIRC) they discuss the morality of crashing all the Borg's minds with some bug they've found in their information processing, decide not to, and then discover they already sort of did that by accident....
That's the one I had in mind, yes.
