Suppose that in the recesses of the code there is an instantiation of the bubble sort algorithm. The planner proposes to change it with, say, merge sort. Do you think that the PSM would generally disapprove such change?
Do you think it would approve it, but it would still be unable to approve modifications that would be needed for significant improvement?
Since the PSM was designed without self-modification in mind, “safe but unable to improve itself in effective ways”.
(Not sure how this thought experiment helps the discussion along.)
Can you please motivate?
