I agree that the existence of such an oracle closes off certain avenues of research and discovery.

I'm not sure that keeping those avenues of research and discovery open is particularly important, but I agree that it might be.

If it turns out that the availability such an oracle closing off certain avenues is an important human problem, it seems to follow that any system capable of and motivated to solve human problems will ensure that no such oracle is available.
