Maybe I've spent too much time around philosophers - but there are some AI designers who seem to spout weak arguments like that, and this paper can't hurt. When we get a round to writing a proper justification for AI researchers, having this paper to refer back to avoids going over the same points again.

Plus, it's a lot easier to write this paper first, and was good practice.
