Only in a short-sighted view in a society with inadequate enforcement. This
is *much* more the argument that I was expecting to have. I will continue
to address this point shortly. Thank you for bringing it up.

Coming shortly (it's getting late). Again, an excellent question!

:-) You're being pedantic and difficult. I'm arguing a general equivalence
here, not a specific skill set.

Yes, but I don't see why my argument cares whether or not the AGIs have
human universal architecture (except that it is a good argument that my
testing on humans is insufficient for proof of behavior in AGIs)

Possibly true but it is probably not smart enough to get around the blocks
that humans will have placed in it's way (and the fact that humans will have
placed the goal that it is UnFriendly to attempt to do so until the humans
declare that it is ready).
