Clippy would encounter ethical dilemmas of the sort: Is it better ..err.. moreclippy to have 1 big paperclip, or 3 small paperclips? A line of many clips? Or a big clip made of smaller clips? Is it moreclippy to have 10 clips today and 20 clips tomorrow, or, 0 clips today and 30 clips tomorrow?

Clippy could have these dilemmas. But they wouldn't be ethical dilemmas. They would be clippy dilemmas.
