I fully agree and have been pleased to see this logic clarified in the recent discussions of IABIED. We must choose where to put our primary efforts, but those like me who think alignment might be achievable on the fast path should still say we’d prefer shutdown if at all possible. I will not only continue to say that, but try to share this logic broadly. Pushing hard for caution of any sort will on average improve our odds. I don’t think we can get a shutdown (see other comment) but I’ll still state clearly that we should shut it all down.
It only takes a moment to say “well of course I think we’d shut it all down if we were wise, but assuming we don’t, here are my plans and hopes....”
