I can’t speak for habryka, but I think your post did a great job of laying out the need for “say oops” in detail. I read the Doomsday Machine and felt this point very strongly while reading it, but this was a great reminder to me of its importance. I think “say oops” is one of the most important skills for actually working on the right thing, and that in my opinion, very few people have this skill even within the rationality community.
