Ah I see, that makes sense, sorry about that. This post was written with more emphasis on the distribution shift that reveals misalignment rather than the underlying degree of freedom that allowed that misalignment to happen in the first place. Both of these (degree of freedom and distribution shift) are necessary to cause misalignment, any other form of misalignment would (probably) just be crushed by RLHF or similar.
