A. <Other AI researchers have not found tool AI to be an obvious approach.>

That is not an argument against investigating Holden's idea. It is an explanation of why SIAI had not investigated Holden's idea before Holden had presented it (you can tell because it's in the section titled "Why we haven't already discussed Holden's suggestion"). This explanation was given in response Holden presenting the idea in the course of criticizing SIAI for not having investigated it.
