You mean, the selfish answer becomes the utilitarian one. In general I find arguments which only work when you consciously refuse to take into account some of the information available to you (like whether you are the pusher) quite suspect. It seems anti-Bayesian.
It can be handy for dealing with the "hostile hardware" issue, when you don't want certain parts of you updating.
