We did specify no long-term consequences - otherwise the argument instantly passes, just because at least 3^^7625597484986 people would certainly die in car accidents due to blinking. (3^^^3 is 3 to the power of that.)
If you still use "^" to refer to Knuth's up-arrow notation, then 3^^^3 != 3^(3^^26).
3^^^3 = 3^^(3^^3) = 3^^(3^27) != 3^(3^^27)
Fixed.
