Doesn’t the publicity condition allow you to make statements like “If you have the skills to do A then do A, otherwise do B”? Similarly, to solve the case where everyone was just like you, a code can alter itself in the case that publicity cares about: “If X percent of agents are using this code, do Y, otherwise do Z.” It seems sensible to alter your behavior in both cases, even if it feels like dodging the condition.
