That also requires that SI really isn't just a bunch of outsiders to the field doing idle philosophizing about infinitely powerful fully general purpose minds that would be so general purpose they'd be naturally psychopathic (seeing the psychopathy as type of intelligent behaviour that fully general intelligence should do).

If the SI is that, the best course of action for SI is to claim that it does or would have to do such awesome research that to publish it would be to risk the mankind survival, and so to protect the mankind it only does philosophizing.
