This seems incorrect. It doesn’t really matter for blackmailer if you’re aware of the blackmail or not, what matters is his estimate of the chance than you know.
Blackmailing is profitable if gain from successful blackmail chance you’ll know about it chance you’ll give in > cost of blackmail.
Unless you can guarantee 100% solid precommitment to not giving in to blackmail (and let’s face it—friendly AI is easier than that), the more you increase the chance of knowing about it, the more blackmailing you’ll face.
