I meant I parsed fubarobfusco’s comment differently to you, (“they want to be cannibals, therefore it’s … OK to eat them? Somehow?”), because I just assumed that obviously you should save the poor octopi (i.e. it would “bother” you in the sense of moral anguish, not “betcha didn’t think of this!”)
Funny, I parsed that as “should we then maybe be capturing them all to stop them eating each other?”
Didn’t even occur to me that was an argument about extrapolated octopus values.
It wasn’t, your first parse would be a correct moral implication. The Babyeaters must be stopped from eating themselves.
… whoops.
