Thanks, all this seems reasonable, except possibly:
Merging (maybe via BCI) most likely path to a good outcome.
Which in my mind still carries connotations like ~”merging is an identifiable path towards good outcomes, where the most important thing is to get the merging right, and that will solve many problems along the way”. Which is quite different from the claim “merging will likely be a part of a good future”, analogous to e.g. “pizza will likely be a part of a good future”. My interpretation was closer to the latter (although, again, I was uncertain how to interpret this part).

Yeah, I see what you mean. And I agree that he meant “conditional on a good outcome, merging seems quite likely”.
