Well, he has addressed that point (AI gone bad will kill us all) in detail elsewhere. And he probably encounters more people who think they just solved the problem of FAI. Still, you have a point; it's a lot easier to persuade someone that FAI is hard (I should think) than that it is needed.

I agree completely. I don't dispute the arguments, just the characterization of the general population.
