Most statements don't hold in some contexts. Particularly, if you're advocating an implausible or subtly incorrect claim, it's easy to find a statement that holds most of the time but not for the claim in question, thus lending it connotational support of the reference class where the statement holds.

I think I agree with what you are saying. As a side note statements that include "Never. Never ever never for ever" need to do better than to 'hold in some contexts'. Because that is a lot of 'never'.
It's probably easier to build an uncaring AI than a friendly one. So, if we assume that someone, somewhere is trying to build an AI without solving friendliness, that person will probably finish before someone who's trying to build a friendly AI.

further edit:
Wow, this is getting a rather stronger reaction than I'd anticipated. Clarification: I'm not suggesting practical measures that should be implemented. Jeez. I'm deep in an armchair, thinking about a problem that (for the moment) looks very hypothetical.
For future reference, how should I have gone about asking this question without seeming like I want to mobilize the Turing Police?
