If it is possible for me to have a “denial” function, that doesn’t just apply to flat earths and talking cows. I could equally well have a “denial” function that makes me blind to properly reading the AI’s code and properly auditing the AI. I would never have a reason to prefer “I have the specific denial function the AI told me about” to “I have a denial function that prevents me from seeing how bad the AI is”.
