“Not running it” does make [CEV + failsafe] desirable, as compared to doing nothing, even in the face of problems with [CEV], and nobody is going to run just [CEV]. So most arguments for presence of problems in CEV, if they are met with adequate failsafe specifications (which is far from a template to reply to anything, failsafes are not easy), do indeed lose a lot of traction. Besides, what are they arguments for? One needs a suggestion for improvement, and failsafes are intended to make it so that doing nothing is not an improvement, even though improvements over any given state of the plan would be dandy.

Yes, this is trivially true and not currently disputed by anyone here. Nobody is suggesting doing nothing. Doing nothing is crazy.
