You didn't address my criticism of the question about provably friendly AI nor my point about the researchers lacking relevant context for thinking about AI risk. Again, the issues that I point to seems to make the researchers' response to the questions about friendliness & existential risk due to AI carry little information

I rephrased the question now:

Q5: How important is it to research risks associated with artificial intelligence that is good enough at general reasoning (including science, mathematics, engineering and programming) to be capable of radical self-modification, before attempting to build one?

Good. I think that's a much less mind-killing question, and will get more interesting responses.
